The last person I expected to be playing my Bodhrán today 🤣

Back making 16" bodhráns this week.
Vivien and I are getting another batch ready (the first one will be up on the site next week).

After 40-odd years we're calling this batch number 753.6

Don’t check the maths.

Once I get into a rhythm (😉) there’s no beating me 🥁

Big News: Introducing McNeela Session Starters Tune Tutorials⁣

Our brand new series, designed to help you learn Irish tunes in a simple, enjoyable way with some of our favourite Irish trad musicians 💚🎵⁣

In this spring's sets, you’ll be learning directly from Benny McCarthy, Brian Hughes, and Caoimhín Ó Fearghail. Together, they'll guide you step by step as they share their approach to the music.⁣

The first tune, "Johnny O'Leary's Polka", is live and ready for you to learn right here with Benny. ⁣

Give it a watch. You can pause, practice, and keep going to learn at your own pace.⁣

And be sure to hit follow to catch Tune Tutorial Two for "The Lonesome Polka" in a couple weeks to complete the set!⁣

Then once you've learned the set, you'll be ready to play along with Video Three, when Benny, Brian, and Caoimhín all join together to play the tunes like you would hear in a real-life session.
