A young musician who is deaf and partially sighted but plays both violin and piano is going to Parliament to tell MPs: “Never give up.” Charlie Denton, 11, was so deaf as a toddler that his parents were told he would not hear an aeroplane taking off. The talented schoolboy was born with Usher Syndrome, which causes hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa - a deterioration in sight. As well as attending a music academy every Saturday, Charlie is also learning Braille in case he loses his vision. But the cheerful youngster has already achieved his Grade 3 in piano, with distinction, last term and was due to take his Grade 4 violin exam this term until he broke his arm.
