130. Emma Bassett - Bass trumpets, Cornish carols, ultimate stress situations and embodying Norma Desmond

We’re back again with a string of great guests to get in yer lugholes! Kicking off this season it’s trombone titan, singing sensation and all round good egg Emma Bassett.

Emma has performed and toured with a vast number of orchestras including LSO, LPO, RPO and Aurora. She can currently be found performing on MJ the Musical in the West End - in the depths of the theatre in a bijoux brass box!

We were so delighted to finally get Emma round for a chat as she’s a joyous person with many a tale to tell…amongst other things we covered ultimate stress situations, the pitfalls of holding up a bass trumpet for an unreasonable amount of time, becoming Norma Desmond every night on Sunset Boulevard and some serious musical theatre appreciation.

As a proud Cornish woman, Emma talks about her roots in brass banding, the prestige involved in the Helston Floral dance and teaching her English husband how to carol Kernow style!
