The Bodhrán was first introduced to a large Irish audience, well before Seán O Riada set up Ceoltóirí Chualainn. The drama "Sive" by the Kerry playwright John B. Keane was first produced in early 1959 and went on to become a popular success. The bodhrán was used to great effect to accompany a song which was sung in seperate parts throughout the play. Perhaps Seán Ó Riada, who at that time was exploring traditional music saw that play. Of course Ó Riada's endorsement of the instrument helped greatly in the spread of its popularity. Kohn B. Keane was from Listowel where the bodhrán was used by the Wran Boys. The Wran Boy tradition is still strong in the area.
