Well done you, Hawker. I gave up the violin when I was seven years old and everybody else in the class was streaking ahead because they could already read music. Then took up guitar in my teens and failed to follow through on learning that. However, later in life picked up a concertina then a melodeon and just stuck with it. Now, years later, have spent many wonderful years both leading a ceilidh band and playing solo.

Will you be going ahead with the whistle playing also? - under the baton of that other violin player from Cornish Songwriters? Will the group whistle playing feature in one of their future shows?

Congratulations to Amber also, tell her that both Jack and Zack think she's done really well.
