Music

what do you listen to ?

Pop, a bit of country/ alternative/ indie, 60’s music (not much 60s recently though)

can u play any instruments ?

Ukulele is fun to play, 

I might have been the breakthrough player on low whistle back in about 1985 or 6. It was created by Finbar Furey to replace a Brazilian bamboo flute someone crushed, Dixons did a trial batch in plastic, I got one, and applied tenor recorder glissing to it. I had it in my pack at the Edinburgh Harp Festival when Paddy Moloney ambled past, asked to sit in, with his eye on the thing, You play?, I fetched it out. Follow me leader for a few bars, which I did with gracing, then into ever more difficult tests, no problem, I'd learned creating seconds to a Jimmy Galway recording, so we were off, me keeping him sharp with true impro, which he really enjoyed because all he gets are the book seconds. About an hour later, I had to go. But it may have been the first time the whistle style from the Lord of the Rings was heard in public.

so how did your autism diagnosis affect you ?

Sounds cool

no not really   it came with a fingering chart which showed you how to play all the notes it was capable off.  I also had a go at a mouth organ but that went no where fast. 

I think I will have too! Is the fife hard to play?

wow i wasnt expecting that,,,,  get her out and do a bit of strumming to Taylor 

i was forced into piano lessons which I didnt like but on good side i also learnt to read music which allowed me later to learn to play a fife for no reason which actually upped my morale when I was away from home once. The fife is the flute equivalent to the ukulele
