I hope that my musical language is both accessible but also unpredictable – that I take the listener on an unexpected journey.
Warren Nicholson, guitarist
Always have something ready to play.
Brieuc Vourch, violinist
On and off stage, it is the music that matters; I am just a craftsman working his best to serve it.
Inspiration comes from everywhere, literally.
Greg Harradine, composer
When you get to know a particular musician, you can arrive at a wondrous place of trust and collaboration, where you are not afraid to challenge each other, or to debate certain musical decisions. One of my favourite things is asking musicians to comment on what I have written; often they suggest brilliant amendments which I would never have thought of myself.
