Got it in one!  My usual environment is noisy pub, and I am the only person 
amplified, so as to level me up with guitars, mandolins, fiddle, bodhran.  
So just my little amp and no PA (except when playing for barn dances etc.)

>bottlecaps stuck to the covers???

I'll experiment with the little lapel mic I sometimes use.

Cheers Scorcher!
