I’ll write you a song…

Great songs make the world go round, start a fire, send us to boogie wonderland, wrap their tender arms around us and make the earth move under our feet.

I’m going to combine my love of a good conversation with my passion for music.I’ll meet artists, singers, writers and other creative folk. I’ll discover their journey in art and learn about music they love. 

They’ll describe to me the song that they’ve always wanted to hear or sing but could never find and I’ll write that song for them.

Orsino’s Safari

Orsino -  'A character from Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' who declared that "If music be the food of love, play on.
Safari - An expensive chance to get ripped to pieces by a wild animal.
Orsino's Safari - an adventure through music, where the prize outweighs the risks, and the journey takes you across genres, continents and instrumental styles.
Cello, guitar, violin and flute play original works and recreations of contemporary tunes. The group combines flavours from South America, Africa, and European Folk in intricate arrangements that transport you to exotic destinations.
