I enjoy playing at home and I enjoy practising at home,I frequently use a metronome when playing jigs reels hrnpipes etc,when I am practising at home.
I also go out and play/sing for money,and occasionally play and sing for nothing,I enjoy all these activities in different ways.
what I do not enjoy are some of the pillocks on the internet[no one on this thread]who do not put up examples of their music but have the cheek to pontificate about how certain musics have to be played in a particular style.
finally,I think permission should be asked of players before their music is put up on you tube
what players[good excellent mediocre] do as regards playing out is entirely their own business.
players should not feel duty bound to do anything
