Cosmic Shindig
And continuing in a humorous vein, comedian and musician Bill Bailey teams up with Oscar-winning composer Anne Dudley to deconstruct the BBC Concert Orchestra. Individual instruments come under scrutiny and are subject to Bill's acerbic wit, as their innermost secrets are revealed. Anne Dudley has composed music specially and arranged some Bailey originals for this musical extravaganza with a difference. Bill himself sings and plays guitars, keyboards and the entrancing theremin. Musical excerpts include Mahler, Rossini, Strauss, Shostakovich, 1970s cops shows, and a brand-new Carnival of the Animals by Anne Dudley. And there's a secret obsession with music of the Bee Gees.
