Bodhran Irish

48 Hours in Galway

Weathered mountains, sheep studded hills, bogs and remote villages; all jaggedly sewn together by stonewalls and pounded by the mighty Atlantic forms the spellbinding beauty of Galway. Carved out of this tremendous landscape is legendary Galway City itself. Bohemian, funky and laid-back - revellers drink, sing and dance themselves around the curved, cobblestone lanes of this city steeped in history.

Galway is special, simple as that. Amidst a pulsating knot of winding, cobbled streets a carnival atmosphere is created every day. Enchanting street performers spout poetry, juggle fire and beat bodhráns while the sound of fiddles, bagpipes and harps spill from the open doors of its medieval taverns. Galway is an ideal city for seeing on foot, it is small and compact with pedestrianised thoroughfares and walkways weaving through the centre of town. Wander around the tangle of cobblestone streets window-shopping, stopping for snacks and the odd pint of Guinness, before following the riverbank footpath trickling along the thundering River Corrib. Visit Spanish Parade, Salmon Weir Bridge and Galway Cathedral. Whittle away the afternoon wandering around Galway City Musuem, the Kenny Gallery and Nora Barnacle House. Hit the town that evening and sample half a dozen (or so!) of Galway's finest taverns, pausing along the way to marvel at the fantastic street acts performing marvels. Kick start the following day with a walk along the Salthill promenade, before catching mass and an organ recital in St. Nicholas'. Grab a tasty lunch in one of the many colourful cafes dotted along Shop St. and watch the world pass by. Poke your head into a pub or two to listen to the best of Irish traditional music before dragging your way to one of Galway's fine theatres to enthrall your senses.

World Beat 18 Tunable Bodhran WB239 $89.99 World Beat WB239 18" Bodhran Husk sifter The bodhran (pronounced "bow-rawn") is a popular Irish frame drum that, for most of its history, served as a lowly husk sifter: that is, a pan used to shake the husks off grains. Gaelic peasants first converted the sifter to a musical instrument by replacing its wire mesh head with stretched goat skin.The heart of traditional Irish music Although the bodhran is the heart of traditional Irish music performed today, it was only as recent as the 1960's that it could be found outside southwestern Ireland. A bodhran is played by tucking the drum between the left arm and the chest, as the right hand beats the skin with a double-headed stick called a beater, tipper, or cipin (the Gaelic word for kindling).
