David Gunn's Bodhrans - County Kerry

I got an email from somebody named Eamon. He says:

    I was wondering if David Gunn from Co.Kerry was still with us and making Bodhrans.

    I had one of his from the 70's.

    It was made from a cheese round,some coat hangers and the skin was tacked on with thumb tacks.

    It sounded wonderful!

    I lost it in a messy break up.(Yes,that old story.)

    Any information is appreciated.

    Slainte',Eamon

Start here, and you'll probably be able to find him.

"Davey's home in Trieneragh has become something of a meeting place for musicians and his wife Mamie always obiliges the visitors with a few tunes on the accordion."
Which is why no musician has ever been seen at Trieneragh twice ;-)

At the tapatalk online forum, in the Bodhran group ("Goatbeaters"),
there is repeated mention of
a "Davey Gunn", would that be he?
