Firstly, Sunjay it wasn't your voice that grated at me it was my granddaughters in whom it is very pronounce and drives me mad you just got tarred with that brush (a la "high street musical"), Secondly, I said that I hadn't heard enough to pass a valued judgement and then commended you for plying your trade and working at it, I may not have said, but implied that you would develop your career and be a success because you undoubtably have talent.
Thirdly, I thanked Al for giving us the heads up, I think you would easily get a gig at the Black Swan Folk Club in York, give Roland a call.
Please do not lose sight of the fact the people will pay good money to come and see you, treat them well. Don't make the assumption that all criticism is negative carping nor should you take it personally, there are some mean spirited people about but generally speaking people in this place try to help
