Atlantic Bridge
Atlantic Bridge
Why the name?
Both the music and the musicians come from the two sides of the
Atlantic, and as well as playing the traditional tunes and songs
of Ireland and Scotland, Atlantic Bridge has a vast store of
Canadian Celtic tunes, which have their own style and energy.
Their music remains true to its roots, preserving the emotions
inherent in the tradition tunes, but it also combines the
excitement of an up-beat accompaniment with an informal and good-humoured
performance. Atlantic Bridge toured England and Wales supporting
Cape Breton fiddler, Jerry Holland, on his 1999 concert tour, and
have many years of experience playing at arts centres, theatres
and concert halls, festivals and open-air events, clubs, pubs,
parties and weddings.
