Fun
I once suggested a question for BBC’s QI hosted by Stephen Fry, whom I greatly admire. I’m exceedingly proud that it was asked!
Music
I’ve been playing violin and piano for fun for about 10 years now and I was extremely lucky to be asked to lead the Methody Senior Orchestra at the Easter Concert. I’ve enjoyed singing as part of the chapel choir in school also, where we’ve performed a considerable volume of work at some considerable events, such as Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Ireland. There is more detailed information about my instruments in my cv.
