Default folk jam etiquette???
would it be a bad move to turn up at one of those random folk jams in the blue lamp/globe etc. with a synth that did loads of really cool bag pipe and fiddle sounds and start jamming along? I'd imagine youd get frowned upon and eventually told to sling your hook but should you?

please discuss.

Really cool bagpipe sounds? Surely that is an oxymoron?

Possibly more likely to happen at the folk jam at The Green Man than at The Globe or The Blue Lamp.

depends if you want to go along to actively take part or for some other reason.

you could try contacting the people at scat who i believe organise the jams at the globe.

Strangely enough, I was playing around with the bagpipe presets on my Roland the other day and thinking 'I wonder if there's any feasible way I could fit this into a song without it sounding ridiculous'. The answer is probably 'no'.

Try the Ugie Folk Club that meet in the Mormond Hotel in Strichen on Tuesday nights. They love a bit of it, the dirty slags.
