HISTORY:
Bantry Bay began with Bonnee Beth and Patrick performing as a duo, sometimes joined by Mark
Polczynski on flute, whistle & pipes. Cape Breton style fiddler Kaitlin Hahn performed with
the band during parts of 2003 and 2004 (See Kaitlin's Web Site).
Their first CD, "Set The Sails", was released in July, 2004. Amy Otis-Wilborn, joined the
group in December 2004. The group is now back to performing as a duo with Amy and Patrick. Bonnee Beth no longer performs full time,
but continues to make guest appearances. Bantry Bay has performed at Milwaukee's Irish Fest,
the largest Irish music festival in the world, the Maritime Heritage Festival in Port Washington,
Wisconsin as well as numerous venues throughout south east Wisconsin.
