Mark Maguire Bodhran/Percussion/Vocals |
| A native Glaswegian born to Irish parents, Mark is certainly
the most decorated, as well as the most recent, member of Deaf Shepherd, being
an eight-times All-Irish Drum Champion as well as an All-Irish Bodhran Champion.
He is now in great demand as an adjudicator for such competitions, as well as
having taught bodhran at the Cleveland Music Academy, USA. He joined Deaf
Shepherd in late 1997, quickly becoming a key engine in the band's powerhouse
rhythm section, with his uniquely distinctive style combining an innate
sensitivity to traditional material with jazz-tinged syncopations and funky
dancefloor drive. |
