While looking for new mods to play, I stumbled on http://www.freewebs.com/mode_locrian/bardsofvvardenfell.htm on Locrian's website about what seemed to be a WIP in 2004.
It looks really really interesting so I googled/PES/tesnexus/ES search it and found nothing but another page that puts this promising mod in the category 'mod in progress'.

Has anyone got info on the mod or its author? Pretty please?

I cannot locate a copy either.
You know that Cutthroat Mods has a Bards Mod on Planet Elder Scrolls?

Yes I know of it but it doesn't do the same thing really.
I really want to be a bard now so I'll be using the Entertainers, Xargoth's better lutes as well as Complete Lute by Illtempered (which I haven't tried yet).

If there was even an unfinished version of Bards of Vv., I'd love to try and add to it making use of the neat instrument resources we have now.

Me too. Have you found any link to contact the author?
The only thing I know is that the author appears to have some activity on http://www.elricm.com/nuke/html/modules.php.

Pretty much all of his other work is there, but no bard mod

I've just tried out http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3930, which works just fine. The read me actually says that modders are welcome to expand on this mod so I might just do that once I'm done with my current project.

I also remember Adul was going to expand his Entertainers mod http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1027585-req-dance-at-the-house-of-earthly-delights/page__view__findpost__p__14897665, so there's hope yet for the bards His mod is http://www.adul.net/index.php?p=dl_mwmods_entertainers_expanded

I feel it's to bad a good mod like this one just vanished.

Oof that's an old one. I think I remember following the WIP thread a long time ago. Never released iirc :shrug: These things happen, the good news is that now with MWSE and new more awesome lute models by Phijama its a great time for someone to pick the idea up, dust it off and try to improve the general idea.
