From Workshop to Session... 🎶🥁

What starts in the workshop doesn’t stay in the workshop.

On the Búla Bus Tour, you’ll have the chance to learn, develop your skills and build confidence through hands-on workshops, before bringing everything you’ve learned to life in some real Irish trad sessions.

It’s about more than simply learning an instrument - it’s about improving your playing, picking up new techniques, learning from experienced musicians and putting your skills into practice alongside other music lovers. Then, when the session starts, you get to join in, play together, meet new people and become part of the music 🎵

The best souvenirs aren’t things 🍀

They’re the tune you learned at midnight.
The laugh you still remember.
The people you met along the way.
The session that went on a little longer than planned.
The places you never expected to see.
And the memories that somehow get better every time you tell the story.

That’s the kind of souvenir you take home from the Búla Bus 🥁🎶

Ready to make a few memories of your own? Join us for the Búla Bus Tour 2027 and come experience Ireland through music, friendship and a whole lot of craic.

It’s hard to believe how far Búla Buzz has come…

Back in July 2017, we joined forces with a simple idea - to share our love of the bodhrán and pass on everything we’ve learned to players and enthusiasts from around the world.

What started as a summer school quickly became so much more. Over the years, we’ve had incredible teachers and players join us, shared countless sessions, hosted workshops and concerts, made lifelong friendships and, thanks to the amazing Búla Buzz community, raised over €17,000 for charities along the way.

Then, we took things on the road with the Búla Bus! 🚌🎶

We had such an incredible time travelling around Ireland, playing music, teaching workshops, sharing sessions and simply enjoying the craic together that we knew we had to do it again.

So… we’re doing it all again in October/November 2027! 🇮🇪

Seven days on the road, beautiful parts of Ireland, 4-star hotels, group dinners, bodhrán workshops, sessions with some of the best players around - and plenty of time for us to hang out, play tunes and enjoy the journey together.

From the summer school to the Búla Bus… we can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes us! ❤️

The perfect day along the Wild Atlantic Way? We think it looks a little like this... 💚

A full Irish breakfast. Rugged Atlantic views. Music that fills the room. A smooth Irish whiskey. A fireside chat to end the night.

It's not just about the places you visit—it's the moments in between that stay with you. The tunes, the laughter, the stories shared over a drink, and the feeling that you've experienced the very best of Ireland.

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, there's a seat waiting for you on the Búla Bus Tour. 🍀

Book your place for 2027 and experience the Wild Atlantic Way the Búla way.
