Hi Sharpi

A few I've used that seem to work well with the bodhran:


Crooked Jack, Irish (a quickly paced tune of the Star of the County Down)


Queensland Drovers/Overlanders, Australian


Danny Deever words by Kipling tune by Peter Belamy. Tune is sung at in different timing than the drum. For the drum I use a death march.

Swag All on My Shoulder, Australian


Langford Weaver, Irish, see threads on versions of the Carlton Weaver or Nancy Whiskey


Sorry Sharpie, there are others that I used to do but I can't recall them at the moment, getting rusty.

Good Luck, Barry


Erin Go Bragh, Scottish as sung by Norman Kennedy
