Bodhrán Workshop
Mark Stone and Albert Alfonso - Instructors

Mark Stone is one of the country's finest bodhrán players and has beaten his way around such Celtic legends as James Kelly, Jerry O'Sullivan, Brian Conway, Mick Moloney and Zan McCleod. Mark is currently the bodhran player and singer with the Austin-based band Poor Man's Fortune.

Albert is clearly one of the premier bodhrán (Irish drum) players in the "civilized" world. Creatively blending a variety of world rhythms, Albert plays the traditional repertoire in his own innovative style. Albert also builds excellent, high-quality bodhráns with unprocessed skins and brass tuning systems. Albert is also the featured bodhrán player with the legendary Mississippi/Louisiana band, Legacy.
