Trevor Ryder

Somerton, South West
I am a retired teacher and amateur musician with Dupuytren's Disease - a debilitating condition that causes inward bending of the fingers. Since my late 40's I have had 6 hand operations. Once a classical guitarist I now use folk music to raise awareness of this disease and its effect on musicians.

Available talks by Trevor Ryder
