After making bodhrans for 19 years, we have decided (for a number of reasons) that the time has come to step back from the business of making drums.
Because of this, we will be virtually stopping 'Belgarth' bodhrans as of 2014, and it will revert to being a hobby, which will be fitted in with other things we plan to do e.g., grandchildren need to be visited often.
We are working on a way to get Belgarth Bodhrans back in regular production, but that involves family members and 'when the time is right'.
As we start a long break at the beginning of December, anyone wanting to order for Christmas would be advised to do so in plenty of time for us to complete the drum and have it sent out. As a guide, any order taken after mid-November would be difficult to complete.
We wish to thank all our customers who have allowed us to make bodhrans as a career and to have sent 3,300 drums to all parts of the world.
Thanks also to those whose expertise, in various fields, has helped us create the thing we are most fond - the 'Belgarth Bodhran'.
We will be back in another guise, 'when the time is right'.
Thank you all so much.
