Since 1995 Bruce and Sandy Hedman have been performing as the Celtic folk
duo Tara's Thistle. They sing traditional Irish, Scottish, and Maritime
folksongs in close, two-part harmony with guitar, harmonica, and drum
accompaniment. They also include toe-tapping Celtic jigs, reels, and
hornpipes played on the Scottish bagpipes, and Irish flute and bodhran. They
weave into their programs stories and bits of the history behind the
folksongs they sing, as well as humorous anecdotes from the six-months they
lived in Ireland and Scotland.
