Hello! We’re a small, London-based pop orchestra led by Monster Bobby of The Pipettes. We formed in February 2010 and play a variety of instruments including violin, viola, bassoon, clarinet and flute. We play both modern, minimalist classical pieces and original compositions, and we also enjoy accompanying bands. Since we formed in 2010, we have collaborated with a range of indiepop singers, including Darren Hayman, The Pipettes, Elizabeth from Allo Darlin’, Pocketbooks, Shirley Lee of Spearmint and The Loves. Our debut EP, Josefina, is now available on Elefant Records, and features A Little Orchestra performing songs with Model Village, Simon Love, Gordon McIntyre of Ballboy and Darren Hayman. The EP, released on limited edition chocolate-coloured vinyl, can be ordered from http://alittleorchestra.bandcamp.com/ Do contact us at alittleorchestra@gmail.com if you’re interested in joining, or if you would like us to come and play for/with you! ***************************************** A Little Orchestra are: Alex Billig – Bassoon Bobby Barry – Piano and percussion Catherine Carr – Flute Claire Hadidjenar – Violin Helen Short – Cello Jill Faure – Viola Matthew Walker – Violin Natalie Hudson – Violin Nicola Burnett-Smith – Bass clarinet and B Flat clarinet Rosie French – Violin http://www.alittleorchestra.co.uk
