I bought my Roddy Turner Bodhran from the Music Room, in 1997 and it
has served me very well since then. I've never been tempted by any other
drum so far !! Marcus Coulter was the All Britain Pipes Champion a few
years ago, and was a member of our branch of CCE. Phil's Big Whistle site
is a must for any whistlers, and Steve Noon's new Eagle Music (ex of The
Music Room) is a real friend to all Irish musos. |

Due to recent demand, I have decided to re-open my page |

I was invited to teach Bodhran for Folkus a few years ago, thanks to Alan Bell and Dave Jones for the invite, great fun guys (sadly it's had to stop due to my disability) !! At Chester Festival 2002, I won the competiton for best festival photos, my "Festival Of Feet". Dick G's pages are an inspiration to *any* website designer - keep it simple and make sure it works in ANY browser - his "Websites - A Rant" is a must read. I often play Bodhran with Miln and James, two guys from Firebrand, at The Malthouse, Ironbridge in Telford. Bill Caddick is a good mate of mine, and is one of my favourite singer/songwriters - Im even singing two of his songs in my current set. And Les Barker just had to be included here, simply cuz there's nowhere else to put him, and I really wanted to have his details on this page. |

Links to Music Sites (MIDI, ABCs, tunes & lyrics). Some of these sites have given their permission for me to host a local Mirror, ie, a Zipped file of all the MIDI or ABC tunes, GIFs or Lyrics. Please visit the sites before downloading the Zip files. This is very important as the original site gives much more than just the tunes. History, Heritage, Philosophy and Musical Theory are all to be found. Make the most of these superb sites, they are so very interesting ! Grateful thanks go to Basil Hendricks, Barry Taylor, Lesley Nelson, Richard Robinson, Seppo Niemi (Zaphod), Michael Loehr, Bernie Stocks, Mike Simpson, HugMonster (Ben Pilot), Robert & Susan Blakeley, Niklas Hakansson, Kipp Doolan, Alan Dawson, Craig Cockburn, Liam, Ron Clarke, Cliff Moses, Allen Garvin and everyone else involved ! As you can see, more and more of these sites have closed down, please click on the Paypal donation button below. There will be an option to add your comments. All contributions acknowledged and gratefully accepted. Many Thanks, David |
