Atlas Bridge at Groove Pad Shipley

Exciting acoustic 3-piece band Atlas Bridge bring together Becky Taylor (Uilleann pipes, Northumbrian smallpipes, whistles and mandolin), Madeline Andrew (vocals, 5-string banjo, guitar, bodhran and whistle) and Steve Lacey (guitar and vocals).

Expect engaging, high energy, lively tune sets interspersed with thought-provoking songs. With a multitude of different instruments between them and a fresh approach to more familiar material as well as vocal variety, there is plenty of interest here!

Atlas Bridge came to life in the Sparrow Café in Bradford, drawing on their shared love of good tunes, good songs and a willingness to keep the show on the road no matter what. Their name, with its roots in Greek mythological references to the Atlantic Ocean or Atlantis Sea, echoes the big musical connection between Irish and other Celtic folk traditions and the Americana/Appalachian music and song reflected in their repertoire.
