Madam, - The Axa Piano Competition is now rated one of the top five in the world. Yet on the first day of the first round there were approximately 30 people in the audience at the RDS and on day two, Saturday afternoon, this swelled to 50. Am I missing out somewhere on the music-loving Irish? - Yours, etc.,
LIAM O'GORMAN, Summerhill, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co Leitrim.
