We asked one of the fiddle players at a recent session in Lewes, Sussex, to demonstrate a rant to us while we played. She got several of the blokes at the bar, who were watching and listening, to join in. It was very good.

I do enjoy sessions, but there's always that extra kick when people are dancing to your music. We had a very good informal longways set going at the top end of the bar at Ditchling just after Christmas. No beer was harmed in the process.

But none of us do flamenco.
