Marion, you have a good point
With this particular party I was at, it truly was a 'bond fire'. Just a bunch of good friends hanging out who were not too concerned about what was going on.
To me it felt like there was a bit of a battle between the bodhrans and the guitars, but maybe it was just no big deal to them.
I really don't think they cared to much.
Now, if the beer and wine coolers had run out, then there would have been a big problem.
