I have always had a habit of bringing interesting little instruments home( read instrument addict), and as a life-long Rennie my lad and I just started out jamming ren-era stuff. In any case, we got booked by a friend at a Pagan festival, and then booked after that at several small faires.
My son is 14 and insanely good on bodhrans, tabors, provencal tambourines, etc and I do some string and woodwind.
We're rather new as you can tell by my son's age, and any input/advice would be terrif!
