I've loved singing for as long as I can remember. My grandmother played violin, church organ and piano. She encouraged me to sing. I used to sing along with my aunt, music from the shows, light classical. My sister and I were both in school choirs. Became interested in folk music through tv and radio in folk revival. Sister went away to college and went to folk club, told me about performers she had seen such as Ewan MacColl. Both of us bought LPs and sang along with them. When I went to university I immediately went along to folk club.
