Default Text to the left and right of a character

I have a list of file names (Music), the format is "Beatles - Yellow
Submarine" in cells a1 to a10000 (for arguments sake). I want to have
in B1 - Beatles and in C1 - Yellow Submarine.

All files are the same format (Beatles - Yellow Submarine.mp3)

What formulas would I use to get the text to the left of "-" and text
to the right of "-"? Any helpers greatly appreciated

Esra
