I subscribe to no belief system despite being brought up in a large family of staunch methodists. However, that particular institution is mostly responsible for my interest in music. Singing around the piano was a regular event in our household and my cornish grandmothers household when we were very young. I still have some of the hymnbooks and other things from that time. 'Faith, folk and clarity' entered our household soon after it was published and to this day I still sing Sydney Carters 'Crow on the cradle'. I believe many others came to music of all kinds in this way.
