JeZeBel---good---you can "play tunes" on your Bodhran. That does indicate that you can handle "nuance" where required.But let NOBODY tell you that they can play a bodhran tone-perfect alongside a well-tuned fiddle or guitar and be true to every note. That's what I'd call the "impossible dream." Or the improbable miracle. You can tune to a key. After that it's your personal ability which makes you good, bad or middling.
That said, I'd guess that you are worthy of at least one try-out with a bodhran-shy group. They might be happy with what they hear.
G-LUCK!
