Jean, Can you tell us more about this movement? I have never heard of it and I am sure there are a lot of list members who are interested. Where did it start? Who started it? where did they get the instruments? who taught them? Just a few of the questions that spring to mind. Ann Macey in Warm and windy newport Gwent
