  I have played the flute now for 72 years. It is a lifetime skill, a true gift from God and I love it❣️I play each Sunday in my church and I am sure many churches would welcome this gift. It is a beautiful connection between me and the Lord. May God bless you, too❣️🎶James Galway’s truly the finest ever, a true blessing and he has such <br>wonderful humility.

  I met sir James at Manchester flute festival 1990.I was 51 and had just started playing the flute.<br>I met him again in 1998 at the festival hall flute convention, And he said, Hi you are Ron from Jersey.<br>He is not just an amazing flute player he is a man of the People. I am 81 now and I play concerts <br>with the attitude I learnt from Jimmy, Just enjoy yourself and the listeners get it. Long live Sir Jimmy.

  I was privileged to meet James Galway in 1977 when I was a 14 year old novice flautist. &nbsp;I still have that same inspiration and admiration nearly half a century later. The man is a legend in his own lifetime and one I will always have the greatest admiration for.

  The last time I saw Galway he did 4 encores. He loves to play. He couldn&apos;t stop. He&apos;s a joyful player AND person

  I&apos;ve enjoyed and looked up to Sir Galway since I was in 6th grade. &nbsp;I&apos;m 55 now. &nbsp;I&apos;ve seen him a few times and gotten to meet him and chat a bit. &nbsp;He&apos;s a wonderful human being.

  His stubbornness and virtuosity helped him. What a legend!

  The look of disappointment of the solo teaching moment of it not clicking for her the expression was priceless.

  Noow aged seventy nine i still have my James Galway silver flute and still fet enjoyment from the sounds it can make with a little help from me.<br>This is the man who set me off down that path, and its good to know that he still can make this instrument sing a song like a bird, along with his amusing way of dealing with life.<br>Sir James, you have my gratitude and admiration long may you play on.

  It was one of my greatest joys to step into the very back of the &nbsp;2,200 seat entertainment theater with amazing acoustics, were I worked and listen to Sir James Galloway&apos;s rehearsal. Never, ever did I think I&apos;d of been seen or heard. I was so lost in listening to him play it was a few long seconds before I realized he had stopped. I looked at him &amp; he waved me to him. &nbsp;So nervous, excited and thinking, &quot;I&apos;m so fired but wow, so worth it&quot;. He smiles and just says, &quot; lass, why are you crying?&apos;&quot; &nbsp;I didn&apos;t even realize I had tears streaming down my face from hearing him play! I was clutching one of his CD&apos;s, he asked if I&apos;d like that signed. I don&apos;t even remember what I said, maybe just nodded, lol. I treasure that CD to this day. He nvr told anyone that I know of, I still had my job. ;)

  I played a couple of concerts where Galway was soloist, &nbsp;pied piper fantasy and Mozart I think. Absolutely remarkable. Unbelievable sound, technique, he knows exactly what he wants from the orchestra. And off stage a very personable character. Remarkable musician, with a remarkable career. Endless stories!
