One day, Elly the happy hippoth decided that she was going to stop playing classical violin because it was far too rigid and did not agree with her.

So she picked up Beatrice the fiddle and started to play around with some new ideas - and she found that this was good.

She later started picking up other pretty instruments and eventually learned to multi-track, and the result is this funny kettle of fish.

The weaponry now includes :

- Fiddle
- Tin Whistle
- Irish Flute
- Bodhran
- Djembe
- Mandolin
- Vocals
- Bass Guitar

Moving out of third person, I'm also learning the Scottish Small Pipes. However, you won't hear these for a long time :) I still look like a severely wounded chicken at this moment.

I adore music, it's such a powerful media - it affects the way we feel, the way we think. I like to meet new musicians, and if you are interested in creating a piece of music with me please don't hesitate to chat to me about it! I'm generally a pretty easy to approach person =)

Well, that's pretty much all you need to know! Below is some general information concerning the tracks up at this point in time, and if you have any questions then fire away.

I hope you enjoy listening!
