Same But Different

Join Ceathrú Cheoil na bhFál to discover the fascinating story of two iconic drums: the Lambeg and the bodhrán, where rhythm becomes a bridge between cultures.

Participants will explore how these instruments share deep roots in tradition, craftsmanship and community identity, yet express strikingly different musical voices and cultural symbolism. Through guided demonstrations, hands-on rhythm exercises and open conversation, the workshop highlights how drums can both unite and distinguish cultural heritage.

An engaging and thought-provoking experience celebrating diversity, shared history and the power of music to foster understanding across traditions.
