That's a good story re Vincent Strunks and "Hudi McMenamin" (it's a local joke about how Menuhin was introduced at a traditional music session). I've met some children at Comhaltas (C.C.E.) and other trad. music classes in Derry who also have classical music lessons at school, so I think the campaign to change attitudes and policies has been successful. Most of the children attending the classes are not going to enter compettions; they are encouraged to play in informatl sessions organised by the course organisers.
