[AndrewTheShort]

Can I ask how do you hold your spoons? It looks like they are connected somehow.

By the way nice playing :)

[sillymehe]

if you ever go to Oslo, Norway visit the Dubliner and bring you gear! :D

[virgoverv]

Tell me how do you hold those spoons?

Looks like you hold your index finger over spoons.

Have you adjusted them?

Pray tell thanks

[nickthedickrodriguz]

Thats really really cool.

i want to learn how to play spoons

[thejenuk1]

i am a black girl who has just moved from london to nenagh in tipperary. i really would love to learn how to play all these irish instruments. Do some sessions in the pubs. do you think people would find it strange as i am black.

[rockthedojo1]

Strange... Maybe but I've seen it before not extremely uncommon o.O I did the games for 3 or 4 years and there were a few black dudes that competed, guess its all about where ya hale from? They were Johnson and one was an Owens like me so he had just as much lineage to be there as me =oD

[G4orceFasterPickin]

yes...

[cbsurfrat]

@thejenuk1 why does it really matter what anyone else thinks, says or does? Music can affect the seat of emotions and if you cannot play and do just that, then maybe you should take up cribbage... just saying

[SuperCeol]

@thejenuk1 no, and if they do fuck em. i honestly havent seen many black people playing trad but there loads of chinese. start the trend!

[woodenpudden]

You're gifted on the skins boss, nicely done

[dogbert89]

Eric really does rule

[TheJenuk]

[eyeisgreen]

jayses will ye stop telling this guy how to pronounce stuff. he plays bodhran as good as any i hear at kayleez. ceilis? ceilithe? is cuma liom. he even has red hair. Come on lads ye remind me of my english teacher telling me donkey is pronounced dawnkey not dunkey like i say it. hey boston dude i just bought one cos you make it look good and easy. and i drink bulmers (not magners) not guinness.

[clarebannerman]

[ek4051]

ahhhh spoons :)

[broses456]

Brilliant! greetings from dublin keep it up mate

[5hepherde55]

Lets take a closer look at your spoons! Do you have one handle but two "spoon-pieces"? I play two individual dessert spoons and also the Irish wooden spoons which are a complete single unit. Never seen one like yours, if you'll pardon the expression..

[mariposamuybonita]

Or in your words: Eric Rules....

[mariposamuybonita]

Happy Paddy's Day from Spain, u rock....

[wogman58]

you are realy good!

also can you speak galeic?

[MatIrish]

you dont speak gaelic because gaelic is a sport irish is a language

[ONeill1780]

you....are...an idiot.

[MatIrish]

how im only statin a fact

[ONeill1780]

are you kidding me? you should be ashamed to call your self irish if you think youre right about what you said

[MatIrish]

ar u irish because if u were you would know that gaelic is used inreference to gaelic football which is a sport and irish is the language only yanks call irish gaelic

[colourdeafpancake]

Gaeilge (pronounced phonetically as gahel-ga) is the Irish language, not Gaelic.

Gaelic as an adjective means "pertaining to the Gaels", including languages and culture which would include all forms of Goidelic languages - or "Gaelic languages", customs and sport. It is incorrect to say that you speak "gaelic".

Disclaimer: I am a native Irish speaker from the west of Ireland.

[MatIrish]

that was my point

[pahu61]

wow really i never knew that

thank you SO much for that information!!!!!!!!!

[beeshe2007]

[MacMan282]

@IrishKanuck That was pretty fine playing of both instruments. haha, couldn't help but notice the PO2 rank stuck in the backround next to the irish flag. Very nice.

[waynedaun]

awesome job man, il try to post a video of me playing soon

[notkwiteapirate]

Question... why do you always wear a hat? To protect your secret identity? :-P

Bravo mate

[jagboy73]

Thanks so much for doing these vids. I love 'em. I finally got my first Bodhran today. I've been a kit drummer for about 25 years, but this is a whole new world. Thanks, and your vids are going to played to death on MY computer!

[howssorrynow]

very good video! as wildrose 39 says,you got to have

passion. and as a man says an ear for the music.

[wildrose39]

Hiya, I love your videos, you play with such passion. My bodhran playing is improving if I can just stop my blasted arm from aching lol!

Wildrose xxx

[dourlynome]

I love this guy.

Totally Badass.

[kirstenkrook]

Hi,

Nice spoon stuff! I played a piece with spoons with my percussionensemble we used just kitchen spoons but this really IS an instrument isn't it....it looks as if this is way easyer to play than the normal spoons. That could also be because you're really really good lol :D

Starting to play the bodhran at the moment, your intructions really help, thanks!

[XxXAduialXxX]

hey, you're really good with your spoons! the bodhran too offcourse!

keep up the good work!

Greetings ~XxX~

[shamrockfairy]

wow!! you're really good! i play the bodhran too, but not as well as this hahaha :) well done

Slainte!

[drumjem]

Wow! Love the spoons! I have been a drummer for about 13 years, but have only been playing the Bodhran since Christmas. Do you have any suggestions of some good music to practice with/get inspiration from?

Thanks for your videos, they have really helped me understand the basics!

[RoscoRiddler]

nice sign!

[IrishKanuck]

hahah thanks. My good friend Eric always tells me to put them up hahah. just as a fun little prank type thingy. lol

[dogbert89]
