I wondered when someone would get around to having a go at spoons players! (starfire, 23 May) Is there a session anywhere that would welcome me and my spoons, or am I doomed to remain a pariah? Also, why do all "Irish" session players look so serious, and continually play the same tune? Would it help if I joined in on my Tuba, "German" Umpah bands seem so much jollier? Just a thought bwt.
