I'm engaging my diaphragm as I'm speaking to you right now.

That was when I realised that music is the most profound, magical form of communication there is.

The musical heritage of Yorkshire is deep and wide.

And woven into the fabric of this harsh existence was music.

I also have to support my speaking voice by sitting in a way that engages the diaphragm in the way I would for singing.

I do hope that our spring will be starting shortly and we will all be able to enjoy some sunshine again.

My mum used to say to me, 'Spit on yer 'ands and take a fresh 'old.' Keep going even if you have setbacks.
