She accompanies herself and Guitar and an Irish Drum called "the Bodharn" (Bow-raun) Bill Elliott Bill Elliott began playing guitar at the age of twelve, initially learning folk, then bluegrass, while transitioning into more contemporary music as a teenager. Bill remembers feeling the need to compose his first song at the age of 16 (although his mother has since showed him evidence of his initial attempts at the age of 5) and has been writing, singing and performing ever since. Today his repertoire and appreciation for music has extended into many musical genre's both old and new and with the addition of Aoife in his life… Celtic! Just a note about out music..Our music is more suited to private parties, ceremonies, and events that run around 2 to 2 and a half hours. We are not a wedding band and don't play for 4/5 hours. But very suitable for house concerts and smaller events. You won't be dissapointed!
