The show goes on for Steve after his stroke

AN inspirational Coleraine musician has spoken of his remarkable recovery from a stroke to mark Stroke Awareness Month.
According to new research released by the Stroke Association, more than a third of stroke survivors (35%) are able to sing better than speak soon after their stroke.
The charity surveyed 1,000 stroke survivors to mark Stroke Awareness Month this month and found that a third of survivors (33%) lost the ability to speak after their stroke.
Meanwhile over a third (35%) could sing better than they could speak in the days, weeks and months following their stroke.
In fact, a quarter of people (26%) could sing or hum before they could talk at all.
Steve Farlow, 45, had a haemorrhagic stroke in 2016 when he was 36.
