Ok Steve Thompson doesn't read music, I don't, Martin Bartlett reads it to violin and voice, Anna Shannon does it to a plethora of instruments, I even watched her write a melody on a manuscript (whilst ironing) and then play it after it was finished (the ironing) I am in awe of people with that ability and skill and a tad envious, as to the folk degree I vowed to keep an open mind, but if anyone is listening from that establishment try teaching charisma or maybe weed out the wannabe celebrity's maybe that's bollocks, maybe the folk world needs wannabe celebs, I don't know.
