Yes I gotta fair Idea who they are vilan,I have met Doug many times he is a great bloke and plays some lovely materiel wHich I and many many others have greatly enjoyed listening too.
In fact at the Tap and Spile in Grimsby is considered quite as the highlight of the evening when Doug has his go.
If any body actualy bothered to read the words I use they would see that I at no point mentioned any of the people on this thread.
Doug did nod and say hi Laurrie was to busy playing as were the rest of them.
I will repeat some of the sessions I have attended been less than freindly or welcoming especialy to Bodrhan players.
I do not mean that they failed to stop in the middle of aset to chat and buy me a beer,I mean that they either do not acknowledge yur presense or they make it clear that you are not included in the circle.
I dont see the great advantage in waiting fifteen years to have a go
I am too old to waste that much time.
I did ask for clarification but was not forthcoming I dont know why ,must just be another example of the warm welcome that is forthcoming at sessions.
It seems that another contributer Rockhen has the same experience of sessions and you you couldnt meet a more pleasent personable young lady than her.
You yourself were very welcoming as always and willing to introduce me to the singaround at the scarcrow festival you see I thought it was all rather splendid. The nice guy playing the whistle was even good enought to play a tune just for Bodrhan players so how would I have made any comments that included that bunch of excellent musicians in my posting
