Fairly painful to listen to, Bagpuss!I've been in four bands, or loose musical collectives recently, and they've all sprung from session playing, so that's where I'd say to expend your efforts. Also, contrary to myth, you don't go to folk prison if you are musicallty bigamous . Indeed, the majority of musos I know are in more than one ensemble, so ask people that you like the sound of to get together, preferably at another location, to have an exploration.
Good luck
