Joe Biden invited to Connacht Fleadh via special bodhran designed by Galway craftsman

US President Joe Biden has been invited to this year's Connacht Fleadh - with a special bodhran designed by a city craftsman. 

The Bodhran was created by city native musician and craftsman Michael Vignoles, who's a bodhran and Uilleann pipe maker. 

The inviational bodhran features an image of Joe Biden, and invites him "home" for the Connacht Fleadh being held in Ballina in June. 

A bodhran created by Michael also features on the Angelus on RTE - and he says that's the reason he was chosen to make one for Joe Biden.
