Do you play a trad instrument?

I play the flute meself, love it to bits, even though I'm not brilliant or anything.

My best mate Sinéad is buying her concertina soon, and there will be some jamming sessions!!!

What bout you lot?

I intend to learn how to play an instrument in college this year, though I'm already known for being quite an eager player of the bodhran (if not a particularly good one).

Learned the tin whistle in school, have some experience in the piano accordian. I'd love to get back into playing again, have a lot more enthusiasm for it now than I did a few years ago!
