Steve Pretty (and friends) On the Origin of the Pieces

Steve Pretty is best known as bandleader of internationally-renowned brass pioneers Hackney Colliery Band (‘one of the greatest live bands that we have in this country’ – BBC Radio 2), but he is also a composer, performer and podcaster with an enduring fascination with what music is, where it comes from, and why it even exists in the first place. This unique evening of music and discussion will form part of Steve’s new podcast series of the same name. Whether you’re a musical novice, seasoned professional, or just interested in why Steve’s career seems increasingly to be based around playing conch shells, this show will help you to hear music in a whole new way.
