Vocal Harmony On the Radio
Each month I present Vox Pop Radio. Sponsored by Hullabaloo Quire Vox Pop is a celebration of vocal harmony and community singing.
This month I’m in the hot seat with Margate based musician and animateur, Jodie Watson. Jodi is involved with Beyond The Page, an innovative programme that blends choral warm ups and singing with ESOL lessons for migrants and asylum seekers. As well as this, I bring you a cornucopia of harmonic delights from a creative broad church, including Hozier, Les Grandes Gueules, Poppy Ajudha, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
Vox Pop is produced and sponsored by Hullabaloo Community Quire in Brighton.

Ways you can work with me
