For over twenty years local ballad group, Bodhrán have been among the top entertainment acts in this half of the country. In recent years they have staged only one concert annually, often for the benefit of local projects. The band's repertoire contains many of the finest and most popular ballads of Ireland. To say they are a local legend may be a cliché, but to have survived in popularity in their own place for so many years, is indeed exceptional. As individual performers, they all possess that natural flair and professional approach which has marked them apart from the many groups who have come and gone from the ballad scene in Ireland.
