God *will* move as long as there is two or three gathered
together in His name.  Whether the musicians be professionals
or the type that can't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it.
The musicians might not receive a blessing if they are in the
wrong, but I know by experience, that no matter what they play
or how they sound......*I* will receive a blessing.  

This is why we have some Apostolic churches where the spirit can
be moving all over someone but the person sitting right next to them
can be as dry as wood.  Once again I state, its only as good as you make
it.
God has a blessing to pour out, it is our responsibilty to open our
souls and get filled.

The reason I speak so strongly about this topic is for the fact that I
have been through it.  I have complained about soundmen, musicians,
choice of music(Southern, UCK!), and the way they chose to go about
the worship service.  I have said the same thing you have stated, that
the musicians could un-invite the presence.  I found out that when I 
quit allowing my personal opinion to dictate the moving of God...that 
God could move no matter what the situation.

I agree that there are musicians who do not allow the spirit to lead
them,
but before you say that they un-invite the presence, make sure it is not
you who is doing the un-inviting by your critiquing.(I only speak this in

a humble, been there done that, manner)
