Welcome to Bracha Ben-Avraham's
Irish Music Website!
    I have been playing and performing traditional Irish
    music for the past 15 years, and am an active member
    of the Irish music scene in Israel.

    I began listening to Irish music as a child, and renewed
    my interest in instrumental music in the 1980s.  My first
    band, "Wild Mountain Thyme" performed jigs and reels
    together with a variety of other ethnic styles.  

    After several trips to Ireland to learn more about Irish
    music, I acquired a bodhran, bones, and my first Irish
    bouzouki, which I added to my guitar, banjo, autoharp,
    and other instruments.  In 2001 I upgraded the factory-
    made Sherwood bouzouki to the ten-string model I now
    play, and this is my main instrument.

    I am available for performances with Irish musicians in
    various combinations.  Please contact me to learn
    about performances, or click here to learn more about
    my solo Irish music show.
