JUST AN OBSERVATION AS TO THE ORIGINS OF THE BODHRAN, WHICH SOME BELIEVE TO STEM FROM THE USE OF A GOATSKIN BASED TRAY USED TO HAUL PEAT. NOT TRUE! A RESEARCH COLLEAGUE HAS ESTABLISHED BEYOND DOUBT THAT THE TRUE ORIGINS OF THE BODHRAN AND THE BODHRAN PLAYER WERE MARTIAL, WHEN HOARDS OF MAURAUDING CELTS FOUND THAT THEY COULD CAUSE THEIR ENEMIES TO TREMBLE WITH FEAR WHEN THEY BEAT THEIR SHILLELAGHS ON THEIR CIRCILAR SHIELDS. CROSS-CULTURALLY IT SEEMS REASONABLE, BEARING IN MIND THE TACTICS OF CHAKA'S ZULUS, AND THE PAIN EXPRESSED AT MANY FOLK SESSIONS.
