Ciaran Boyle.

When he was about 12, and already a brilliant player, I went with him and his Dad to a festival, where in return for playing him at pool, he taught me the rudiments.

I hope his pool playing is better than my bodhran playing.... I am fast enough, but that is through having no toys as a child........ But playing it???

Leave it to the experts? No, it is not hard and practice gets you by.. it has a wonderful sound and compliments jig & reel sessions like no other percussion can.
