Lawrence Giltnane (Drums and percussion) in Elephant's Eye busking and performance duo.
With the vocals, we use guitars, bouzouki and percussion and soundscapes for live performance until such a time as someone will sponsor us with a full choir, small orchestra and specialist band, but we have our own percussion and ethnic drum section!
Accordia is mainly recording meditative but also medieval and renaissance fantasy and wedding music, songs and atmospheric music for special occasions. Professor Prog is prog rock relived for this age with astounding studio compositions.
