Artist |

Malcolm left school with a good set of
qualifications but did not go into higher education.
Instead, he took a wide range of jobs over many
years before going back to school as an adult
student to study A-level art. This was followed by a
Fine Art degree at Lincoln University. Malcolm is
now a working artist who also delivers talks and
works with schools. In 2006, he produced a play at
the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. (more) |

Music |
|
Music
is important to most people but only a lucky few
manage to make a living from it. Even if it is not
possible to do this for an entire career, many
musicians get great enjoyment from performing on a
part-time basis. David is a good example. He spent
many years as a full-time musician, even appearing
on TV. In recent years he has taken a 'normal
job' but his band still enjoys playing at functions.
