Well, I made the transition from operatic/classical singing to folk. I was a high tenor with the Hallé choir for a while, and once sang under the baton of the late Sir John Barbirolli in York Minster.

I'm doing support for Chris While and Julie Matthews on Friday 7th November at Maghull (UK), so someone must think what I do is acceptable...!

One advantage it gave me was the ability to project without a PA system even in large halls...

We all know what we like, and what we don't like - and that our preferences can be quite different from anyone else's. That's what makes the folking world go round!!
