The Patrick Matthew Violin

 In 2023 the Patrick Mathew Scottish heritage violin will be completed. 

This instrument is being made by a famous master violin maker, whose instruments are played by leading soloists and approved as "as good as my Petrus Guarneri" by Nigel Kennedy. 

The Patrick Matthew instrument has been specially commissioned by Dr Mike Sutton to celebrate the great Scottish Enlightenment science hero and original author of the theory Darwin and Wallace stole with the help of Darwin's powerful pals.  

Halloween 2022, when pressed by the journalist Sonia Poulton, Mike talks a little about this project for the very first time.

 In 2023 Scotland, and the world will be hearing a lot more from The Patrick Matthew violin.

The October 31 2022 news show clip of Mike talking with Sonia Poulton and Sean Ward about the notion of "haunted" violins and about the special commissioning of  The Patrick Matthew Scottish heritage violin is below.

The video of professional performance violinist Ursula Donnelley playing the "Haunted Tobin" violin is in the video below:

Brian J. Ford on Plagiarism

 When I contacted Professor Brian Ford to let him know that my "Selby cited Matthew discovery" research had twice been plagiarised in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society it was me to who Brian responded with what he says in the above January 2022 video: 

"If you’re in the public eye and you make an impression, people are going to steal your work. It's actually the ultimate compliment. If in science you haven't been plagiarised, it's because you haven't done anything decent. The minute you do, some miserable two-faced, dishonest bastard is going to come along and steal your work and claim it's his own."
