Thread Name: bodhrans in sessions
Subject: RE: bodhrans in sessions
Saw Julie Matthews tonight in the Maltby version of the Rockingham Arms folk club - superb singer. She talked about the new Radio Ballad about the Northern Ireland troubles and attempts to play music featuring both the bodhran and the orangeman's drum (whose correct name I forget) together. She quoted an ulsterman talking about people getting shot because they carried the bodhran in the wrong part of town - sounds like they must have Old Time sessions in Belfast!
