Across the Pond plays traditional and contemporary Celtic folk music. A musical blend of fiddle, viola, flute, alto flute, piccolo, guitar, banjo, mandolin, whistles, and the beat of a bodhrán make for the perfect entertainment. By adding a dash of modern influences without straying too far from traditional roots Across the Pond sets itself apart from other trad bands.
