Reluctant Seamus Begley finds his voice at last

“I never know until I open my mouth whether the voice is there or not,” says Begley, 66.
“I have a very soft singing voice. I can be loud when shouting at the dog or what have you. But not when singing. It’s given me fierce trouble down the years and I’m slightly paranoid about it. I’m always worried about my voice. Sometimes I will take whiskey or honey — whether that is false courage or not, I don’t know.”
