Bhan Tre is an exciting female acoustic trio with a huge repertoire of traditional Irish tunes.
Presenting a fantastic selection of lively original songs with a Celtic flavour.
Bhan Tre's line up includes -
Geraldine Davis - Vocals, Guitar & Bodhran
Born in Greystones, Co Wicklow Ireland. Geraldine migrated to Australia with her family when she was 8 years old. Her early musical influences came from her mother who taught her many traditional ballads. It was this exposure which instilled a love of her Irish heritage and encouraged her to explore Celtic music further.
Sue Foley - Vocals, Bodhran & Tin Whistle
Born in Bendigo Australia. Sue was encouraged to follow a career in music by well known vocal teacher Mavis Webster, with whom she studied until leaving Bendigo in 1982 to continue her classical studies at the Victoria College of Arts with Dame Joan Hammond.
During her years in Melbourne, Sue became increasingly interested in the Irish music scene in the late 80's. Sue was drawn to the music and was inspired by numerous trips to Ireland. Sue sang for 3 years with Ceili Brogue before joining Bhan Tre.
Rebecca Nita - Vocals & fiddle

Her mothers interest in playing piano accordian and irish music was a great inspiration. Rebecca has played previously in a number of celtic and folk bands. After moving to melbourne in 1997, Rebecca recieved tuition in traditional irish fiddle playing from Helen O'Shea.
