I would love to talk to your friend Diva. My sight reading is good but not that good!!! I used to sing in an abbey choir for a number of years. One more regret would be that I smoke too much now and so my voice has suffered somewhat.........maybe I should quit.......I know I should quit!!! I love to sing regardless of what I sound like!!!!

Hello, Jez here. I have only one regret, well maybe two. I used to play trumpet in an orchestra and several bands and i now regret not taking it further. I loved playing so much and have just started playing again. Me and CatsPHiddle used to play in several youth orchestras before she left for the big smoke and we used to travel round the country with them and it was such a buzz. The other thing I regret is not getting into the folk scene earlier and so does cat, as now I'm am beginning to get the recognition for my bodhran playing that i have wanted for quite a while. It sounds silly, but I sit at home and practice the thing!! That's bad!! But i love playing it and get such a thrill from it. Cat want's me to teach her, so I'm going to. I went away at the weekend and was asked to join a band, so I played all weekend with The Notorious Knick Knack Bogie Band!! They're great, they combine traditional folk with some really cool lively stuff and modern instruments like sax and keyboards etc.... I have to say I have honestly never had so much fun in my life. It was supposed to be a holiday but I ended up playing all weekend........tiring, but the perfick holiday in my opinion!!
