"I've been running occasional bodhran workshops (by invitation so I assume some people at least like my playing)for around 15 years and have taught people ranging from those who genuinely want to learn to play the bodhran as an instrument to those who want something to do for an hour or two as they can no longer keep up with dance workshops."
That sounds like Whitby; the chance to sample something completely unexpected when legs and brain are surfeited with dancing. I found myself with a set of pipes under my arm once, and I'd only gone into the pub to make sure I was early enough for a session.
All good fun, and a glimpse of taster of all sorts.
