The Maguires at Temple Bar Tradfest 2017

Im m 44 yr old Bodhran player, this kid is an inspiration ❤

[@thecocktailian2091]

I WAS a 50 year old Bodhran player, then I saw this kid. I retired.

How could anyone dislike this?!? Such talented musicians!

[@user-cn5wv6mf4g]

WOW! Such talented kids, and that kid on the bodhran is AMAZING!!!!

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

During my life, I have been very lucky to see some of the greatest hard-rocking bands in the world but very few with their 6 truckloads of equipment, massive drum set, helpers and 12 pairs of extra drumsticks could match this up young fellow, I would love to see this young man playing alongside the very great Brian Downey of Thin Lizzy, they would make a million pairs of feet tap and hands clap until the cows come home. What an excellent band those young Maguires and their dad make. This is the band that should be representing Ireland in the Euro Song Festival, all they would need to do is add a few words to part of the music, like a few shouts of joy

[@eugenebuckley7657]

I wholeheartedly agree with you 👍

[@rodsreel]

Jesus that kid on the drum thing is so musical timing phrasing dynamics mixing everything up and to top it all effortless. Best drummer I have ever heard. Natural.

[@andrewgjennings]

It is always an inspiration to see the younger generation embracing the traditions of their culture. Well done!

To play the Bodhran that well, so young is outstanding. I loved the looks the girls kept giving him. Great performers.

[@KieranSaighir]

I agree with all you said. For me, I kept looking at the girls, not sure if they weren't both displeased and amused with the boy (showboating in their eyes, maybe?). Of course that was simply my reading, which probably is wrong.
