I'm musically inclined, but nowadays horribly shy about playing in public, and one of those people who is lucky enough to be able to pick up most instruments and get a tune out of them (though I could never get a note out of a flute), but unlucky enough not to possess the devotion and talent to achieve the standards to which I aspire. For my own enjoyment I play the piano, mandolin and concertina, though my favourite instrument has always been the harmonica.
I live in rural bliss in County Leitrim.
