The next batch of Bodhran Magic adult group beginner courses is registering now and starting very soon in the city centre.

The bodhran is simply a brilliant instrument to play, is very accessible for all ages, and has become extremely popular now for very good reason. Run by professional Galway musician and educator Brian Ferguson, the courses provide proper tuition and a brilliant step by step learning system that keeps students motivated, inspired, and is just so enjoyable as you progress and learn to play along to tunes with confidence and clarity.
