FOLK PROJECTS
Josie enjoys performing and writing Folk Music and after learning the tin whistle in 2006 she started performing in several folk groups across London on both tin whistle and soprano saxophone which included The London Irish Band and The Reels. Recently she has been running some educational projects in schools which involves getting the musicians to learn and perform folk music using some new techniques which in most cases they haven't done before. At present she is writing and arranging folk music from around the world for the saxophone to give the instrument more representation within different world and traditional genres. Please listen to Marici Saxes albums to hear the results.
