I've heard you sing many times - last time in Harrogate a year or so again.

Unless something has dramatically changed I neither see you having a quiet or loud voice. When I used to go to Hull/ Beverley things Mick had a BIG voice but most people don't. Singing in places like the Sun Inn and others were quite hard if it was noisy. I had a very quiet voice in those days and so I'm guessing that peope probably thought I was lip-synching to a track they couldn't hear.

An odd question perhaps but how is your hearing? You are a little bit older than me but not much but my hearing has changed over time.

When I was at university years ago I got both ears blocked so badly with wax to the point that I couldn't hear at all. During the time that was going on I had not the least idea of at what volume level to speak at and people kept saying "what did you say?" and me going "pardon" and them going "sorry" etc etc

If I remember in Sun singarouonds you could project as well as most and knew all the 'project to the back of the room' stuff.

I met Richard Bridge in Beverley and it struck me that he has quite a projecting voice. I'm not sure whether he sees himself as having that. Mine comparatively is quite quiet - sit down and mumble job :).
