97. Hannah Peel - a podcast by Seb Philpott and Verity Simmons

We're back! Did you miss us? We missed you....and what a belter of a guest we've got to kick start this new series. It's none other than newly crowned Ivor Novello winning composer, artist, producer and broadcaster Hannah Peel.

Hannah is truly hot right now with a plethora of awards and nominations to her name. She is a critically acclaimed film, tv and theatre composer - her Ivor was awarded for her score forThe Midwich Cuckoos.She is an artist in residence atKings Placewhere she will be curating a number of concerts over the next year and is also about to embark on a tour of her Mercury nominated albumFir Wave......oh and just as a side note she happenstopresent the hugely popular Radio 3 showNight Waves.

Seb and Verity met Hannah back in April, the morning after press night forDancing at Lughnasaat the National Theatre (scored by Hannah) and the announcement of her Ivors nomination. Her excellent level of chat post party highlights what a true pro she is!

Conversation covers writing for television and theatre, composingFir Waveduring lockdown and now touring it - something she never expected to happen. Hannah also talks about her upcoming fully improvised concert with percussionist Beibei Wang - an anxiety dream situation for Verity and potentially quite stress inducing for Hannah! They talk about getting a work/life balance and how there needn't be one path into the music profession.

You'll all be delighted to know there is also a smattering of dog chat......

Huge thanks to Robert Simmons who has edited this episode while Seb is off treading the boards.
