Do I detect a patonising note here - I wonder if you took bags of salt and beads?
An intelligent musician comes to Ireland to listen to how Irish music is played by the natives, and hopefully take some knowledge away with them.
Unfortunately, what happened to Doolin is the visitors came to play, not to listen.
