140. 'The Show Must Go on' - Gareth Davies pt 2

What it's like to play 'l'apres midi' and the punishing schedule of being an orchestral flute player.

"If you're not sure if you want to be a flute player, then if you have to ask that question...don't!"

Due to the overwhelming response from the podcast last week, Gareth Davies - Principal Flute of the London Symphony Orchestra returns and speaks with Clare about the wonderful book he's written entitled 'The Show Must Go On' - about life on tour with the LSO in 1912 and 2012.  An honest dialogue from this lovely man and beautiful flute player, full of insight and real life experience.

'Talking Flutes' and 'Talking Flutes Extra' are podcast productions by the TJ flute Company.  For more information visit www.trevorjamesflutes.com
