Ok Bodhranaphobes we know what you are saying.

Here is a list of things that have b*ggered up good music sessions:

1. People who start tunes without saying what they are
2. People who play so fast it is impossible to guess the tune
3. People who are so unfriendly they cannot speak or even smile at other peeople
4. Accordian players who play all the notes and both sides of their instrument almost all the time
5. Fiddle players who go slightly sharp and slightly flat
6. Guitar players who thrash the strings
7.Banjo players who cannot get their instrument to stay in tune
8. Whistle players who have not mastered the incidentals in tricky tunes
9. Yes and various percussionists who cannot keep time and address the rhythm appropriately and play too loud.

So, let s/he who is without sin go and stone the bl**dy bodhran players then come back and stone all those listed above.

Almost none of these come to our sessions and we are happy!
