I was lucky enough to hear this live, before lockdown, and to see diners reaction to the song: people suddenly smiling and swaying and feeling part of this greek - irish - abba vibe, of a summer's eve in north Clare... great to have it recorded.

lyrics
The Bodhrán Beat
Nowhere could be better than
walking by the sea,
Overhead the mighty cliffs soar,
the joy is you and me..
Take me to where they play the music,
Happy people gather round,
Take me to where they play the music,
Want to hear that rhythmic sound,
Brother dear, can you feel
Oh the beat of the jigs and reels..
Sister dearest having fun
To the sound of the bodhrán drum..
Looking past the islands,
to what the night might bring,
Can we find that chosen place?
and hear the people sing..
Take me to where they play the music.......
