Road Trip! For episode 54, Seb and Verity hit the road and head to Leighton Buzzard to chat to music power couple, Hannah Quinn and Oli Hayhurst. Hannah is a conductor, pianist, accompanist and répétiteur and Oli is a hugely in demand jazz bassist.....also dabbling in classical, commercial and world music.

How do you manage to tangibly string together all the threads of Hannah and Oli’s exciting an eclectic careers you may ask? Well, judge for yourselves whether with the addition of some clunky segues we’ve achieved this!

Conversation ranges from Hannah’s experiences of being head of music staff and assistant conductor at ETO, to Oli touring with Collabro and residencies at Ronnie Scott’s and Blue Note in Milan. Oli also chats about working with Julian Siegel, Pharoah Sanders and Ray Gelato. Plus supporting Bob Dylan, the different Jazz scenes in London and seeking authenticity in your work.

Hannah talks about her mentors, some hardcore early conducting lessons, complicated translations and rehearsing orchestras in Chinese. She also chats about working with the dancers at the Royal Opera House and the complexities of playing for class.

Inexplicably, topics also include Tiki Bars In Leighton Buzzard, Morris Dancing and performing dogs. Pretty much the kind of hard hitting journalism you’ve come to expect from a TIAB outing!
