Subject: RE: Musical Intimidation Factor
Listen, last year I was playing at the The Cambridge Folk Festival where I got the chance to do a duet with Kepa Junkera on the Radio 2 stage as he missed the first day so joined in on a 'session concert' on the radio 2 stage with 422 and Blazing Fiddles. He did not know any Irish tunes but I knew 2 Galcian tunes out of every other musician there so we played them together and did a duet! Now I was nervous but belive me the last thing I was going to do was put my accordion down!! It was a chance to play with a true master. The nice thing with music is all of of sudden you will find yourself playing with someone you least expect, you will be nervous but by heck you'll enjoy it and look back on it forever.

Oh ye we also had a session afterwards!

Cheers, Sam
