I am a flautist, songwriter and music teacher.

Julian Gaskell is a maverick multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter, producer, performer, storyteller and van driver.  Described in Cornwall by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, he is a ludicrously self-sabotaging musical talent whose work over the last 20 years has incorporated verbose punk, withering agricultural-folk, european street accordion and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano protest songs, torch ballads, weeping country laments and straight up rock’n’roll bangers.

Blur as we know it was born in 1989 when the band signed to Food/EMI. Debut album Leisure (1991) announced the arrival of a band with pop suss warped by an art-punk eccentricity. Yet Blur had more in them: namely, a revolution in the sound of English popular music. Second album Modern Life Is Rubbish reintroduced the idea that English rock music could be cool, and by the time their third album Parklife emerged in 1994, the rest of the UK had caught up. 

The Great Escape (1995) refined the sound palette of Britpop, but Blur were already moving on. 1997's Blur was an about-face - scuffed and noisy and un-English. Follow-up 13 was an even a more radical adventure in sound as William Orbit refereed a truce between organic punkpop and new-fangled technology.

Seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon, featuring an eclectic variety of rhythms and textures and glorious melodies. 

In 2009 Blur reconvened as a four-piece to play a series of UK shows including two sold out dates at Hyde Park and a historic Sunday night appearance at Glastonbury. A film about Blur, No Distance Left To Run, was released in 2010.

The Cat The Fox & The Crow perform beautiful songs and arrangements with stunning vocals and intricate guitar woven together with imaginative flute. 
The band are made up of Ruby Brown (vocals and guitar) Catherine Hurley (flute and vocals) and Adam Turner (guitar, bass and vocals). The group was formed by Ruby and Catherine writing and performing a mixture of folk covers and their own material. However they imagined greater possibilities with the music. Adam then joined the band which allowed them to expand their ideas, creating their own unique folk-pop sound.
All three musicians have, and continue to work with many different musicians;
Ruby Brown ( Ali George, Beth Porter, Marius McKee and Midge Ure)
Catherine Hurley (The Mandrake Project, Erinn Williams, Catmandu, and various classical ensembles) 
Adam Turner ( Dave is Dead, Catmandu)
