THE RABBIT HOLE – FRIDAY 28TH JUNE – 1PM
Musical trailblazer Shaun Buswell returns to Glastonbury to create the unique Pilton Pop-up Orchestra for 2019, made entirely from musicians attending the festival.
Playing a mix of Buswell’s original folkestral music, renditions of classic movie/TV theme tunes, as well as performances from special guests, the shows will be ones to remember.
Buswell is the man behind the 68 piece Underground Orchestra (formed from strangers met on the London,Underground) who performed at the O2 Empire, a 24 piece orchestra at the Edinburgh Fringe, and the Pilton Pop-Up Orchestra at Glastonbury Festival 2015. He has toured over the last couple of years across the UK, creating pop-up orchestras from sustainable, locally sourced musicians and recently formed a 27 piece orchestra from strangers they met in Paris, writing and recording an album of 12 songs in 6 hours.
