Rocking to the car part beat

I have recently been working as arranger and composer on a project using instruments made from parts of a Ford Focus. Among the pieces being played on these remarkable instruments is a charity single called ‘Six O’ Clock’. It was recorded at ex-Genesis star Mike Rutherford’s studio in Surrey. Performers on the track included Rutherford and Kenney Jones of the Who. You can hear the song and donate to the Teenage Cancer Trust at www.sundaytimes.co.uk/carparts - you can also watch a ‘making of’ video.

Focus Music on the Move

The Ford Focus car part instruments are going on a UK tour, exhibiting a selection of the most impressive and unusual instruments in London, Glasgow and Liverpool in April and May.

Visitors will not only be able to see these stunning instruments up close and personal but will be shown they actually work! There will be two daily live performances of my arrangements and compositions and the opportunity to quiz a member of the design team.

London - The Hospital (Covent Garden) Thursday 17th April - Saturday 19th April

Glasgow - The Old Fruitmarket, Thursday 24th April - Saturday 26th April

Liverpool - St George's Hall, Friday 9th May - Sunday 11th May

For more details on the tour please visit the Facebook event.
