About Me

Bhantre formed in 1997 ( Yes! that is 10 years ago). We were having a quiet pint at the Celtic Club in Melbourne, and having left the bands that we had been playing in decided that what the world needed was an all female celtic band. So we had a few rehearsals, worked on some tune sets and 3 part harmonies, recorded 3 albums and drank a lot of chardonnay. Over the years we have played at numerous festivals. Some of these were Port Fairy (Vic), Koroit (Vic), Kilmore (Vic), Jambaroo (NSW) and Woodford (QLD) just to name a few. We travelled to Ireland in 2000 to visit some of Geraldines family and go to Ballinagh (the place we named our second album). We love playing music together and plan on continuing to do so for a very long time. Come along to a gig sometime or drop us a line and say hi.
