Bodhran On St. Stephen’s Day
June 23rd, 2010 . by adminIf you happen to be in the south west of Ireland this Christmas then explode along to see an unusual celebration. Musicians from all over come in performance with every kind of traditional instrument, like bodhran, bagpipes and tinwhistles. Wren Boys march all the way through the streets clad in traditional garments. They march to the beat of drums and they stop off in bars along the way to play time-honored music. Money is accumulated but this is donated to charity and of course, a wren is not slain any longer but a number of Wren Boys march with a phony bird.
