Atlas Bridge Band- Live at the Trades, 2021
Here’s a wee peek at what you can expect at an Atlas Bridge gig…
Atlas Bridge down at The Puz!
Atlas Bridge headed out to play at the infamous Puzzle Hall Inn this weekend. It was so nice to play live music again, love playing with these guys – great audience and great venue. Happy Days!

International Uilleann Piping Day 2020
It’s International Uilleann Piping Day 2020, an unusual one this year because of the global pandemic restrictions. As many events are happening online, I thought i’d share a video I did earlier this year for Na Píobairí Uilleann’s ‘piping from the parlour’ series.

TownFolk in Hebden Bridge!
Delighted to be playing out again in Hebden Bridge this coming Sunday 8th December, where I shall be playing a few tunes with ace DADGAD guitarist, singer and fellow Atlas Bridge bandmate Steve Lacey at the White Swan.. We shall have an array of pipes, whistles and songs to entertain you with. Kicks off at 8.30 with floor spots, so get down early if you would like to play or sing! More info at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/folkrootsattheswan/
To give you an idea, here’s a little clip of us playing an old favourite up at Wadsworth earlier this year.
The McCann Duet Concertina in action!
Rustic Rock and Roll with…a MacCann Duet Concertina!
Friday the 8th of Feb saw a guest outing with Des Horsfall’s ‘Rustic Rock and Roll’ band KUSCHTY RYE. Snapped from the audience is this great pic that shows Des in the light and a shady figure playing Ralphie Jordans old MacCann Duet from ‘the dark side’… I think Ralphie would approve…
Here’s a Youtube tribute to Ralph that features the same box (along with many others!). Gone but not forgotten.
