Bell/Blake Duo Irish Band from Brooklyn, NY

Fiddler/mandolinist Dennis Blake and guitarist/pianist/vocalist Bill Bell specialize in traditional Irish music ranging from lively jigs and reels to your favorite Irish songs. With over 15 years of professional experience apiece (6 as a duo), Blake and Bell have performed at countless weddings, parties, and events. They own their own professional sound equipment. What could be more perfect than a beautiful slow air while walking down the aisle? Their large repertoire of fiddle tunes make perfect cocktail hour music, and what better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day - or any other day! - than with upbeat drinking songs (All For Me Grog, Whiskey In The Jar) and timeless ballads (Fields of Athenrye). They have been known to throw in some U2 or Van Morrison if the situation calls for it. If a full band is needed, Bell and Blake can expand to a trio, quartet, or quintet with an expansive repertoire of Irish tunes as well as classic Rock and Soul hits.
