MEG ELLA: Winterwerft Festival 2023

It was an honour to be invited as an artist to Winterwerft 2023 by Antagon Theatre, to perform a concert of my own work. I was joined by cellist Fraser Bowles and trombonist Nic Jones to perform a 45 minute set of my original songs and arrangements. I remained at the festival for the following...

Orchestrator: Pretty Red Dress, BFI

Finally, after first jumping in in 2020, I got to see Pretty Red Dress at its premier at the BFI London Film Festival tonight at the Southbank Centre – my first feature film orchestration and more importantly a brilliant, tender exploration of masculinity and personal identity from Dionne Edwards & starring Alexandra Burke & Natey Jones (who shine). The biggest...

Cello: Some People, Agon Branza

So honoured to feature as a cellist on this stunning piece of work from songwriter and composer Agon Branza. “On the background of it all, Agon describes this song as a “confessional anthem about discrimination and ‘otherness’”. Right from the opening notes, the artist immediately immerses the listener into this rich atmospheric world of sweeping...

Asst. MD – Elbow & Citizens of the World Choir, Glastonbury Pyramid Stage 2022

Another moment to pinch ourselves – following our own set on the Avalon Stage and a little cameo with Ferris & Sylvester, Citizens of the World Choir joined Elbow once again, this time on the iconic Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2022, with a special appearance from Little Amal. It was one of my proudest...

Singer: ABOUT US, Nitin Sawhney & Unboxed London

Very proud to have contributed, even a little, to the ABOUT US project, an immense visual and musical instillation, composed by the brilliant Nitin Sawhney. I along, with some London Contemporary Voices, had the joy of recording the choral parts. Read more about this project below: About Us is a breathtaking journey through 13.8 billion years...

Singer: ABBA, Voyage

One of the more mental things I’ve jumped in on. Got to be part of the choir Voiceworks London with some London Contemporary Voices pals that filmed and recorded for the mind boggling ABBA Voyage show. The show in equal parts blows my mind and freaks me out (there may or may not be a...

Arranger: Wolf Alice, London Contemporary Voices, Lullaby Editions

Happy to have contributed choral arrangements for the brilliant Wolf Alice for a couple of re-released, lullaby versions of two well loved tracks. Better still to arrange them for London Contemporary Voices and to get to jump in and sing on them too at a session at Church Studios.

Singer: Isaac Stuart, Virgin Media Thank You Arena Tour

Had the pleasure of joining artist Isaac Stuart on his first arena tour. Four shows; Glasgow Hydro Arena, Manchester OVO Arena and two nights at Wembley, singing on a roster with Kaiser Chiefs, The Fratellis, The Vaccines, David Gray and many more. Such a joy to join him on stage with my backing vocalist pal...

Arranger & MD: 02 Arena, Emeli Sandé, LCV – Private Event

It was a pleasure to project manage, arrange and act as choral MD for a special performance of Wonder by Emeli Sandé, performed with Emeli herself, pianist Okiem and a full choir of London Contemporary Voices for a private event at the O2 Arena. The confetti cannon was a particular highlight.
