Lembit is a member of the NHL and once featured on the cover of our magazine, so I
had better stick up for him. He is also Welsh like Rob (at least Rob lives in Wales).
There is a moral here. We recruited him when we found an MP who was prepared to get
up at charity gigs and play harp with his friend on guitar.

When the Parliamentary debate started about bars having to be relicensed if they
wanted to have live entertaiment Lembit made sure we got access to all the papers
(quite legal but very fast) so we could make our responses to the appropriate bodies.
It pays to have someone on the inside.

I will see if he wants any lessons the next time he is in mid-Wales.
