I learnt completely and utterly from watching other people playing, joining in sessions and asking questions. The book that cam e with the bodhran wasn't any use at all. Are there any festivals close by that you can get to? Any concerts you can go to and do a post-gig interrogation of the bodhran player?Sorry if that doesn't answer your question directly. I don't know of any good resources. Any luck on the net?
Good luck with your playing
