Thread Name: Do folk people like the Bodhran?
Subject: RE: Do folk people like the Bodhran?
I went to N-Ireland in County down -Newcastle in a bar
called Mha hara inn ? words may not be right :O)
and I took my drum out and there was an old man playing
bodhrán and I watch him for some tunes...and then he said now you
play ? witch I did ..and there a flute player also as fiddle player
and they told how the session was build up and how I would come into tunes when they would play ...I learned alot there , they where friendly
and liked the drumm ...but as the old said play it from your heart
and your feelings for the song , listen to chieftains , De Danann
listen to other s on cd ..learn from them ...go to sessions
ask before you play ...let them tell you if something is wrong
if you don´t do that you never can fix if somethings are not working right . and don´t listen to those good people who don´t like bodhrán
if they have a problem , then its their propblem not yours . :O)
all the best Skarpi Iceland .
