Sir, - That grumpy old dervish Michael is at it again (Irish Times.of vigour than subtlety". Isn't it just possible that this is the correct way to interpret the work of a 20-year-old?

I wasn't in the NCH but was one of an audience of more than 400 who revelled in the panache of the performance by the Guinncss Choir/Carlow Choral Society in the RTC Carlow on the previous Sunday. But then, what would we know about subtlety. We're only a crowd of provincial bog- trotters. - Yours, etc.,
