Just back from an early gig and thought I'd share this problem. Three fiddlers and a few others as well as myself were jamming when some adult (children I can understand) decided to join in with the spoons.   I don't mind the spoons if the person can play them, but what a pain to put up with when they are not in beat. Gerry Deveau from the Cape is great with Ashley MacIsaac or Richard Woods. That I can appreciate.
I have seen my brother stop playing the fiddle in mid play and ask the person playing to take those spoons and shove them. When he was in fiddle camp two years ago one of the teachers/instructors said that a spoon player should always ask if they can join in.
