I play the bodhran as best I can, learning a bit of bouzouki lately and getting great help from Corkman Eoin Jordan ,my Spanish buddy Antonio Bernal and Mayo legend Mick Pierce. I love all sports I represented Ireland at Judo a few years ago and won five Irish titles ,I did a bit of boxing with Kieran Joyce and spent alot of time studying and teaching mixed martial arts, I loved playing hurling and I only retired because the coaches stopped picking me(the bastards), but finished with all that now and loving the music . Colm Murphy spent many patient hours teaching me how to play the bodhran; I was also lucky enough to spend some time with Johnny "Ringo" McDonagh who was kind enough to pass on some valuable information. My best moment so far was when Seamus Tansey asked to play the Bodhran with him on stage at the Cork Folk Festival . I'm totally obsessed with traditional Irish music - long may it last!

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Well howya now Eddie? It was really great to see you down in Baltimore my man.. hopefully we'll see you next time I hit Corks pavements too. Keep her lit.. Ro.
