About Celtic Confusion Instrumental Duo

Celtic Confusion are available as a duo violinist and guitarist for irish & celtic tune arrangements. This is ideal background music.
Acoustic duo
Bournemouth
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Gill and John are a violinist and guitarist based in Poole and Bournemouth. We play a variety of irish & celtic tunes plus mainstream tune arrangements, we even have film tracks in our repertoire. We do play tunes and songs but don't sing so this is instrumental music which is perfect to create a musical background. We vary the tempo to keep things interesting and respond to the mood. We don't use backing tracks and provide our own PA. You can book us to provide music to enhance any event. We are very popular when playing for wedding receptions, garden parties, country shows and beer festivals. We also play tunes to accompany a bride and groom during their wedding ceremony which is often acoustic to fit in with the surroundings.
