Bodhran Workshop
Come and learn the art of Bodhran playing with Mog. Maker of Renegade Rhythms Bodhrans. Mog has been making, playing and teaching the Bodhran for over 30 years. His workshops are exhilarating and fun. With a very inclusive teaching style he has a knack for gently inspiring confidence in each student regardless of their level or experience of hand drumming. During the workshops you will learn basic techniques through to more advanced styles. Covering jigs, reels and world grooves. And as Mog is a drum maker there will be plenty of drums for you to try during the workshop.
Native American drumming
Kevin has been running workshops at Drum Camp for the last 10 years.
The workshops start with a Smudging Ceremony, which is a cleansing ceremony to dispel all negativity and bad spirits. He then does a talk on the Sacred Drum Teachings, followed by some drumming and chants that everyone can join in with. This is what he brings to Southburgh. Sacred Drums is a Sacred Healing Journey with the Drum.
