Can’t think of any tunes in my library with just bodhran + flute or bodhran + accordion.
Anyone care to name a couple of nice tracks that has this instrumental composition?
I’ve found some on youtube, mainly with Johnny McDonagh, but I’m mainly interested in tunes from albums.
Cathal McConnell & Robin Morton, An Irish Jubilee, 1969.
McConnell sings, whistles and flutes. Morton plays concertina, bodhran and sings. It’s a nice set of varied duets, among which is a flute/bodhran jig set [McNamara’s (Connie O’Connell’s)/The Blue Angel (King’s Fancy)] and a set of reels [Gather Round the Fire/Brereton’s], as well a set of reels [The Irish Jubilee [Song]/The Glass of Beer/The Longford] on whistle & bodhran.
Thanks.
Didn’t really like that particular bodhran playing, but a really good site.

Track 2 - never heard better.
Steve Holloway is a percussionist who
plays with several different instruments
on his CD.
Conal O’Grada’s latest album ‘Cnoc Bui’ is all solo flute with bodhran. Lovely stuff.
It was recorded the same year as Chieftains 2, when the entire corpus of recorded bodhran consisted of Chieftains 1 and, well, Chieftains 1. Morton and McConnell used to have to explain to audiences every night what that thing was they were about to hear.
bodhran and accordion
Pure Bodhran compilation Robbie Harris and Jig Jungle.
and I’m not sure, but I think that on this compilation there’s also some old recording of flute and bodhran
Gonna try and find some of the recordings listed here.
Cnoc Bui I already have. Had forgotten about the bodhran on some tunes.
Anyone know performances / tracks similar to this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6sPWV5_o1U
There is a bodhran tutorial DVD that is
entirely like that. Just bodhran and box.
(though it wasn’t a very good tutorial…)
I’ll have to see which one it is when I
get home.
Sounds promising, if the problem with the tutorial is the pedagogical part and not the performance part. 
You might want to check out the first track of Larsen and League on The Green House. I think they do both flute and bodhran as well as concertina and bodhran on that, I think. I particularly like Paddy’s bodhran style as being almost melodic instead of simply rhythmic, (though I guess not all do), and regardless of what you think of his philosophy, Larsen is a wonderful flautist.

There is always this one

I had no idea Michael Flatley had that in him. But wasn’t surprised to see he had that on him. 
Very nice performances in those videos. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. Strong rugged rhythm (in lack of knowledge regarding music theory, I try to use words that I hope can hint at my meaning), instead of lightning-fast, flowing reels.
if we’re talking bout bodhran tutorials
ages ago Mel Mercier recorded a tutorial like that
and tunes are played by Seamus Egan on a flute.
You’ve got this vid as well : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig1Uvulj7c4
The bodhran sounds a bit lousy to me, but Hammy is great as usual !
might need just a bit more reverb
sounds like he has snares on that thing…
You might want to check out the CD Skins and Sins by Neill Lyons for Bodhran with others.
Neill was World Champion Bodhran a couple of years ago.
Enjoy Your Music

I know Barry Kerr does an awesome tune set, and the second tune is the flute and bodhran only.
