About Me


WELCOME or "failte" as the Irish would say. AQM is traditional Celtic instruments such as harp, fiddle and whistles woven with drum loops, electric guitar and keyboard to create a modern sound that has an ancient element running through it. 10% of every download is donated to NICIE (the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education). They help parents establish integrated schools for Protestant and Catholic children throughout the region as part of the ongoing peace process.
To further the idea that while we're downloading music we can also help one another, I've launched The Royalties Group on Myspace, the place where music, technology and philanthropy unite. It's a group exclusively featuring musicians who donate a portion of their royalties to good causes. Please drop by and join. And to those who have, thank you so much for your support. Big love also to our current featured artist, and my real friends, Culann's Hounds , who are helping out our Vets. If you know of an artist who is dedicated to a great cause, please let me know.
More information about the project, the musicians, and the peace process in Northern Ireland is at my website .
If you'd like to buy the music you're listening to (and help NICIE), you can purchase it via the new Snocap player above. It's also on . Or you can visi Soundclick or Amazon . Again, thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you enjoy the music. And to those who are purchasing it, thank you very much!
Peace,
Elizabeth
Ps: Thank you to Chriss AeroAngel for the beautiful layout.
