On Monday 25th February our first and third year students participated in the Bodhran Beats workshops with Rob O’Connor. Every student was give a bodhran to play and the groups learned a basic reel and polka. It was fantastic to see the lads learn a new instrument from scratch and also to note how quickly some of them picked up the basic rhythms and beats. Hopefully, this means that the school bodhrans can be used in the future!
