  Ray Gallen hails from Belfast and has been playing the Bodhr''n for twenty years. He's a familiar figure around the Fleadh Ceols and sessions throughout Ireland and has recorded with some of the country's top traditional musicians as well as touring extensively in Europe and the US with various bands and is also a regular performer on the television and radio. On this DVD he is joined by Brendan O'Hare on Flute and Tin whistle. Brendan comes originally from Castlewellan Co. Down but now lives in Belfast where he is a renowned Uilleann Pipe maker. If you've never played the Bodhr''n before and want to learn or have already mastered the basics and want to improve your playing then this is the video for you. I have deliberately tried to make the instructions as simple as possible to follow. In this video I will teach you how to play along with reels jigs hornpipes polkas and slides. The Bodhr''n is a great instrument and played well will make any session sound better. So enjoy your playing and remember the old but true saying: practice makes perfect. - Ray Gallen
