He is also an accomplished violin, viola and piano player, having played as the principal viola in the Sinfonia of Birmingham. Due to a damaged finger, he now principally plays the kora.[1]Books- {{cite book |last1=Conway |first1=John Horton |authorlink1=John Horton Conway |last2=Curtis |first2=Robert Turner |last3=Norton |first3=Simon Phillips |authorlink3=Simon P.
