Working with NICK CAVE and The Bad Seeds

I was recently asked to transcribe the string arrangements for Nick Cave's forthcoming album "Push The Sky Away". I have been working closely with Warren Ellis of The Bad Seeds and will be appearing on stage with a string quintet at the shows in London, Paris and Berlin in February 2013....really looking forward to playing with such a legendary writer and such an awesome band!

CARS2 Movie Trailer Summer 2011 saw the release of the Disney/Pixar film 'CARS 2' . A song I wrote with Chicks With Hits and played violin on called 'Your Own Disguise' was featured around the world in the movie trailer behind the voice of Michael Caine!
