Myself and 5 other BBCSO musicians were educated by Jules Buckley in the art of grime music. I have to admit it’s not a genre I was particularly familiar with. Deftly guided by Rob on Bass and Alex on drums we put together a few ‘tracks’ by Miss Dynamite, Devlin, Skepta and Fazer then tried the now ‘orchestrated’ versions with the solosits. Devlin was really quite awe inspiring when he performed as he was so focused. Miss Dynamite was wonderful and delightfully modest, Skepta and Fazer seemed to really enjoy having live musicians to play with. It was great fun, I learnt a lot and was a massive contrast to not only the solo work I’ve recently done, but the Suk recording sessions I’d had earlier in the week.

Alison began her solo career to raise awareness of the instrument to listeners and composers alike, with the hope of more people becoming aware of the beauty and versatility of this, often, overlooked instrument.  It was this passion and conviction for expanding its repertoire that has placed her amongst other prominent women in the arts who have appeared on the show, such as Judi Dench and Jazz singers Dee Dee Bridgewater and Clare Teal.

The official launch of her CD will be at The Forge in Camden on the 11thof December where she will be playing pieces from the album and talking about the Cor Anglais. For tickets visit The Forge.
