Events of Interest to Bodhránfolk

___________________________________________________

I'll list concerts, tours, workshops, festivals, and anything else that you think might interest people who read these pages. I don't want to try to duplicate the various other calendars and tour schedules available around the web; let's keep it focussed on the bodhrán.

In addition to this list of upcoming events, check the rest of the page for pointers to tour schedules for performers of interest, and a list of annual events with bodhrán workshops.

Tour Schedules

I've found on-line schedules for some bands which have particularly good bodhránists. Most of the links I had here aren't valid any more; please suggest additions.

Regular Events featuring Bodhrán Workshops

Several of the links I had here went stale. If anyone can point me to the new sites for any of these festivals, I'd appreciate it.
