In this episode Lewis speaks to Iain MacGillivray about the bodhrán. The Irish word bodhrán (plural bodhráin), indicating a drum, is first mentioned in a translated English document in the 17th century.[5] It appears in Jacob Pool's list of words from the Baronies of Forth and Bargy in county Wexford (collected in the late 18th century), meaning "A drum, tambourine...also a sieve used in winnowing corn".
