Princess Freesia

The Freesia wants ta please ya.......the Freesia wants ta tease ya.......she plays with the birds and bees, yeah.......honey drippin'.
From the depths of the Thustleberry on her home planet, Freesia Prime, this curious creature fluttered from the stellarspheres to weave a new kind of magic into Terrans with her cosmotic recipe for Ticklish Tweeter Titillations. Drawing from the magic of the Thustleberry, Freesia weaves and whisks, sonic sieves and beats a bisque, coos a dewy dulce dream and loves a larksong into luscious listenability.

Heritage Orchestra

The Heritage Orchestra is a pioneering cross-genre 40 - 60 member ensemble that ignores classical elitism, and refuses to be a part of the new glossy classical-corporate movement; both of which are diminishing the long-term integrity of orchestral music in the UK. So whilst the British music scene struggles between purist and popular representations, The Heritage Orchestra leads a defiant new musical direction fuelled by daring reinterpretations, complex collaborations, fresh compositions, and the most exciting performances in town.
