PHOENIX STRINGS

Well, where do I start.............  Began learning the violin approx 6 years ago.  John Foster the conducter was my teacher who is extremely talented.  Got to a standard of about Grade 4 and when he started up his own orchestra in Cleveleys I joined and thoroughly enjoy it. Prior to this I played with the Mike Hall orchestra in Blackpool which again is good fun.  I did already read music as I also play the piano and claranet.

I live in Cleveleys, I work in Blackpool, I'm married with two young children age 3 and 2 yrs so have my hands full with not enough time to practice and not enough hours in the day.

Other than this interest I spend a lot of time in the gym (not that you can tell), aerobics and spinning classes and swimming with the Fleetwood Masters.
