Hi, I’m Mark Bedford. Together with Maggiebeth Sand, I launched Arq Music as an outlet for our various projects and collaborations.

My background is mainly in composing and musical direction for theatre and TV, though I have also formed my own projects, mainly the instrumental jazz/folk duo Stone Arcade (with Al Whelan) and, with Maggie, the neo-mediaeval/world music outfit, Arcantus.

My first album, “Heritage,” features arrangements of mid and down-tempo Celtic themes. It features leading musicians, such as uillean piper Steáfán Hannigan (known for his work with Loreena McKennitt, amongst others) and violinist Ric Sanders (Fairport Convention.)
