BBC Radio 4: Jamie Cullum’s Piano Pilgrimage
/I produced this three part series for BBC Radio 4 in which jazz musician Jamie Cullum explores the role of the piano in modern life in the UK.
Highlights include:
- Exploring London’s former piano-making hub in Camden Town.
- Playing the Brontë’s original piano at their former home in West Yorkshire. (Watch the video)
- Having a sing-a-long with Chas & Dave around the piano in an east London pub. (Watch the video)
- Meeting two young piano prodigies in Derry, Northern Ireland. (Watch the video)
Along with a behind the scenes blog and tweeting production tips live from a day’s recordings in Derry, the programme was covered by BBC Radio Foyle, BBC Radio Sheffield and Radio 4’s Midweek and Pick of the Week.
“Cosy and illuminating.”
“Jamie Cullum’s Piano Pilgrimage…[was] a highlight.”
A Folded Wing production for BBC Radio 4. First broadcast in January 2014.
