Thank you!

He took guitar lessons with a great teacher called Duncan McCallum who told him about BB King and Django Reinhardt and Forde began to lose interest in the bagpipes. He left school as soon as they would let him and began work for a number of organisations and individuals, all of whom eventually sacked him. Luckily, Strathclyde University agreed to take him in and he got to play with people his own age. Realising that he didn’t really know anything about music, Forde started trying a bit harder and got some gigs which was really helpful. Patient older musicians encouraged him despite what he was playing and he eventually played some music he was proud of.
