hopping from station to station like a pre – digital radio sliding in and out
of wave bands…’ Alban Low – The Art Of Jazz. A remarkable Cellist…’ John Fordham (The Guardian) ‘… Wild cellist and
pianist with wide ranging vocals…’ – The stage ‘… Very funny polished act and a
wonderful elastic face…’ – London Live Radio ‘…Stomach achingly funny…’ Fleece
