I dunno, Anglo. You do loads of traditional stuff and I can't recall ever thinking any of it was 'draggy'. If you had a repertiore that only included two or three up-beat songs in the midst of many quiet, pretty ones, I might. Norman Kennedy, David Jones, NexTradition and others, did plenty of non-draggy traditional music. (I somehow managed to miss Margaret MacArthur.) It wasn't about the type of music, but, despite a few more lively performances, the overall tempo. And lest someone translate my comments, as is common on the internet, as meaning "it sucked and I hated it," I enjoyed the music. The night was just a bit low-key.

It may also have had something to do with the fact I'd driven over four hours, set up a tent in a mad dash, gone to a class and was ready for a nap.
