Re- backing Irish traditional music:
"...... one needs to balance the strong urge to join in by considering what one has to contribute. It's a healthy sign that the music gets under your skin and you want to be in there, part of it all - but it ain't all about you, it's communal music, give and take, and passive listening is better than active messing."
- Paul de Grae (November 2000)
