Hej Andrea!
To be on the safe side Air lingus, you can take your Bodhran with you on the plane with additional hand luggage. Mietwagen ist Budget cars. Sessions in Galway at Tigh's Coili main guard street Galway, I think its on sunday! have a safe trip!
Ronnie :))

And with that last conclusion of Rolf we may close this discussion and play some tunes. Take care you all and have a great christmas. See You out there with or without cajon, Bodhrans, spoons, shaky eggs, wuzzles, bones and even a coffee machine as long as we respect eachother we are on the right track.

P.S.
And what about flutes?Haha no we won't go there!

Hej Andreas,
It isn't a question of complaining. Banjo's, Bodhrans, etc can be played in a moderate sensitive way with feel for rythm and nuance. I have never heard any-one getting to let his cajon "sing" like a Bodhran player. Like I said before, I like the cajon in a play full of fire and drive in a more spanish setting then in Irish but that's only my opinion. I have been in sessions where it was tried to play in a modest way but still it came above every instrument. I also think that often people don't make remarks to keep the peace allthough we have some friends here who would make comments I don't know when the cajon started to make an entrance in Irish music but they are loud and that's no personal opinion. I also see people changing over from the Bodhran towards cajon. Why I ask myself? I'm also aware that some cajon players just don't take positive critisism just like some Bodhran players who just "bang" away. Its all in the feeling for the Irish trad and sorry mate I just don't feel that when I hear a cajon. Its just drumming in my ears. I hope I don't offend any-one, just a personal opinion

I didn't knew that. Thanks Guido! All the best from Belgium!

I think the comments are fair so no tredding on toes here Benny! When a band feels it needs a cajon its ok and their own choice, probably to replace a drumkit. I like the sounds of a Bodhran well played better while it speaks more to the audience or listener. The cajon is perhaps a great instrument and it originates from Spain I think and in a Flamenco setting it sounds perhaps better because of the tapping and clapping. I wonder how it found its way into the Irish trad scene....

I agree, and even on stage its more dangerous than a Bodhran. I like the instument but not in an Irish setting if not played modestly. I wonder how this will go further in time. Thing is that I saw in Antwerp a guy last winter not belonging to the Irish trad scene banging away on his new cajon. Sounded more like a weapon . This reminds me the saying "Play the music; not the instrument!" All the best, Ron

P.S.
Antworten kann in Deutsch, Ich kan es nur schlecht schreiben!

Nice comment, Uwe, hope to visit the fiddler one day!

Hallo liebe forum genossen, mein Deutsch im schreiben ist nicht so gut so ich gehe weiter in English.
What I wanted to ask the forum members is the following; what do they think about cajon's and Irish music. For some time now I see cajon's entering sessions and in my humble opinion (and that's stricktly personal) I don't realy like them. I think first of all that a Bodhran has to be played humble in service of the melody instruments without taking the lead and being a solid background or fundament for the tune. I see often now a cajon that over-rules the session with sharp beats and is realy at the centre of attention which isn't so pleasant to hear. I hope I don't offend any-one and especially those who play cajons. I think its a great instrument but honest believe that I find it difficult to hear it in an Irish setting. Recently I'm seeing Bodhran players that chanced their instruments in favour of cajons. Is this a normal evolution in music or should we stick to our beloved Bodhran? Please comment without being offensive towards those who play them! All the best from Belgium.

Hallo Christian,
Alles ist hängen geblieben! I really enjoyed the lecture! Don't forget to put my wuzzle aside! In this way all my best to every-one who attended the workshop and made the two Belgians welcome (like always )
Ron

Looks impressive! CU in Vollmerz! I like the 45 its stunning

Thanks man glad I'm back here

Grhmmpfff as long as they all sound different they will always appeal to me. I posted a thread on yahoo but wasn't sure if it came through about old style drums.

Being interested in the "old" stuff I would like to try out this basic drum. Vollmerz? Schönen grüss!

Ein bisschen hart für die augen aber nicht schlecht! Ist das die tracht für Vollmerz? Dan nehme ich meiner Irische rugby shirt! Grüss aus Belgien!
