Betty Connor playing in Aristo's
A new sound coming out of the door from Aristo’s bar this evening -- the sound of the flute and fiddle from two musicians just arrived in the city. What the regulars to the bar were treated to was some authentic Celtic traditional music, coming not from Scotland or Ireland or even Brittany but instead from the other side of the ocean from Fairbanks in Alaska.
The two musicians, husband and wife Bill and Betty Connor are well known in their native Fairbanks for their many years of playing Celtic Traditional Music with such bands as Polar Drive plus their distinctive sound can be heard guesting on many CD’s of other musicians right across Alaska.
