Tonight's Music



Here is Capercaillie live performing Seice Ruairidh (Roddy's Drum). The seice was an early form of the bodhran.

The lyrics are simple:

Roddy's drum makes a noise,
Roddy's drum makes a whirring,
Roddy's drum makes a noise,
When it's struck smartly.

When it makes a noise,
And everyone present moves;
The noise Roddy's drum makes
Will bring the house down.
