M: Do you come from a particularly musical family?
F: Not really. My family are farming people and my parents have always lived on farms. My oldest brother is a born farmer, and my second brother works on a farm too, but he’s also got an office job to do with agriculture, and so they appreciate music but they really don’t know much about classical, in inverted commas, that sort of things; they appreciate perhaps Scottish traditional music more and they like a good tune, and if they can trace a tune and they can tap their feet to or clap to, they’re quite happy. But they don’t know above Stravinsky or something like that, then they’re quite lost.
M: Why did you choose percussion? I mean it’s not the obvious thing even for musical students to choose.
F: No, but I liked it. I was always keen on percussion, clarinet and percussion were my two instruments, and I liked the sheer variety but I feel I was very much influenced by a local girl who played the xylophone and she was absolutely brilliant and I just said gosh I want to do that too, but then I discovered that percussion didn’t just consist of xylophone, it consisted of a lot more and so I liked that as well and so that’s how it really all began.
M: So you started to play percussion quite young.
F: Yes. That’s when I was at secondary school at the age of twelve. I had a bit of a job actually starting percussion because when you’re a pupil at school you all go through a music oral test and which is done through a tape recorder and you just listen and you write down answers, things like that, and afterwards when I asked if I could play percussion the obvious reaction of my teacher was, well look at these marks they’re not very good, but I said: well really I play the piano, that was the only thing I could back myself up with, until eventually he said, well the percussion teacher happens to be at school today, perhaps you might want to go through and see what he says; and so the percussion teacher said well I can’t really see why she shouldn’t be playing percussion, and so it’s really just gone from there. But at the time they didn’t know that I was wearing hearing aids and this sort of thing and so when I told them their reaction was much different you know what I mean.
M: They didn’t know that when they gave you the test?
F: Oh no and I refused to tell anyone, rightly or wrongly I’m not sure, but certainly that was the case that’s how it all started really.
