Bodhran Making
Daily display of Bodhran Making Craft
On the site of an old Franciscan Monastery in Roundstone, Malachy Kearns, better known as Malachy Bodhrán amongst folk musicians, works at his craft of making Ireland’s oldest product the Bodhrán (Bow-Rawn). The Bodhrán is one of the oldest Irish musical instruments, a one sided hand held drum that is made through traditional methods using treated goat’s skin stretched onto a Birch frame. Colourful designs are hand painted onto the bodhrán including by request family crests.
Malachy has been Ireland’s Master Bodhran Maker for over 50 years and has handmade all of the bodhráns used in Riverdance over the past 25 years.
