That is not what I said, Les. But we certainly don't want people who have no idea of normal social etiquette swanning in and doing whatever they like. I wouldn't do that at your session in a million years. I suggest to you that you are not familiar with either the circumstances of our venue with the constraints it puts on us nor the traditions of our particular session. Sessions are not all the same. If you turned up at our pub and asked if you could play we would be very nice to you. We already have a guitar player and we wouldn't want two at once, and we don't want our regular chap, who has driven thirty miles to be here, sitting on the sidelines all night so that you could take over. Competent melody players - not virtuosos - are always welcome. We have had some very negative experiences with very poor percussionists so you would probably wouldn't get a look-in if we saw one of those round bags in your mitts. So it all depends. And if you do have to tell someone not to join in with a second bodhran while another one is already playing, then you really are dealing with someone who is in severe danger of being moronic.
