One of our members from as far back as the 90s is Geoff pictured here on the island of Inis Mór in Galway. 🌴 Before taking out his Bodhran, Geoff is showing us the art of standing up in 80 to 90 mph winds 🌬 no matter if its playing outdoors, playing inside with the windows open or even on a boat in the Atlantic! ⚓️
Geoff's famous line was, 'if the wind stops blowing the sheep🐑 and cows🐄 would fall over' still rings true today. The song 'I'm Still Standing' or 'Blowing in the Wind' comes to mind. 😎 As always, Geoff would never miss a beat! 🥁
You never know when entertaining what the environment might be. Expect the unexpected, as you have to be ready for anything! 😁 Equipment ready, lines in place will always be helpful 🎤🪗🎻, but when out on the western islands as shown here, the residents 👦👩🦱 might want instant renditions of their favourite song when seeing the bodhran and guitars coming their way down the footpaths during the 'blow' of an afternoon.
If you need any help in fixing those niggly issues when playing in unfamiliar places 🚣♀️or 🛳, whether large halls, smalls halls, in the windy outdoors or at your nannas house, ring us, book at time and we'll help you sort out every part of your important event. 🎉
