Bodhran, Vocals.

Monique Ros
(10-08-1964)

In 1990 it all started for Monique as she joined the Highland Dance group of the Cοncοrd Ρipeband. During that time she also learned to appreciate bagpipe music. After a period of 'peace and quiet', she picked up learning to play the bodhran. For this she actually travelled 7 hours for a two-hour class in Bergen op Zoom, with Rob Bitter. Monique took playing bodhran very seriously and that led to the purchase of her current bodhran, made by Brendan White.

She loves to try all kinds of different playing techniques and things she can play on. Monique is currently also teaching the tenor drummers of the Highland Valley Pipes & Drums. Moniques favorite tune is: Pumpkens Fancy, Witch of the Glen.

Saying: Give me my bone please?
(Meaning her Bodhran tippers.)

Weirdest thing done in the last few months: Making a cow-cover for the pipes, and playing on the sole of Henri's shoe.

Because the Bodhran she plays, is a little bigger as usual, it's sometimes called The Beast. This soon changed into The beauty and the Beast

Is known to play her bodhran using 2 tippers at once.
