Wednesdays

I've been playing Bodhran for over thirty years, fifteen of those in a Ceilidh Band, Folk Duo and five piece Folk/Scottish band and for several years also a Bodhran tutor at SCAT.

In the lessons I will be teaching and reinforcing basic tune rhythms and session etiquette for Bodhran players.

We'll start with playing along to recorded music leading up to live music by the end of the term
