Hi all, looking for a tutor to teach me how to play the BODHRAN.
I am originally from Scotland, but have always loved this great celtic instrument the most, as my next door neighbour was one of the best in Edinburgh, by the name of Bob Betram, the last time I saw him was 5 years ago, and he was on his last legs then, but I will always remember him when I was a kid playing it and thinking how the hell does he do that... so now I want to learn.
Does anyone out there know of anyone that can help me, send me an email address or phone number or something. Just can't find anyone out there.
Yes young Ben is a fine player, you'll get him in Scruffy Murphys or Durty Nelly's at most sessions. He's very reasonable too mostly does lessons for pints of Guinness!

Llig tried, but like many another, failed. So he had to take up the fiddle, but has never forgiven nor forgotten the drum.
