When I was ten my parents separated and I moved to Seattle, Washington with my mother and away from the piano. The next year I was given my first keyboard and I began to

Bellow Bridge

Bellow Bridge are a four piece Celtic folk band playing traditional music and songs from the four corners of the British Isles, and beyond.

The joy of making music together is what keeps the us ticking as a band. We are not the least bit interested in fame and acclaim, but rather we think of ourselves as the village band, like in times past when live-music was just a part of community life.  Good fun and great tunes is at the heart of what Bellow Bridge is all about.
