About the event
The Bodhran and the Guitar are popular instruments used to accompany tunes at trad sessions. Tunes played on whistles, fiddles and mandolins are great, but they take on a new life and energy when accompanists are there to provide support.
In this special 2-hour workshop, Les Starkey (bodhran) and Bob MacLean (guitar) come together to review the basics you need to accompany trad tunes.
In this workshop, we’ll cover:
Session etiquette - Do’s and Don’t’s
