The first time I sang in public was the usual school play in chorus but nothing compared to my first singaround where i was lured under false pretences to be surrounded by all the local folk luminaries all in full throttle voice and me myself not knowing how to play a single folk song so my rendition of police   pop ditty went down a storm ,luckily it did not put me off though i,m sure it was cringeworthy for everyone else.....
