Arty Facts
[Repeated from Sunday 1.30pm.] Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined by Welsh violinist Phillip Morgan for what begins as a sensible conversation about a life in music and may well end in a heated debate about parking fines. Classically trained, former leader of the West Glamorgan and the National Youth Orchestra, Phillip studied at the Royal Academy of Music before playing with the BBC Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the English Chamber Orchestra, touring internationally and doing all the things you’d expect of someone who can read music. He enjoys busking, performing at weddings and proving that a world-class violinist will take requests. We also uncover his superhero alter ego of traffic law guru — he has won millions of pounds back for motorists from councils. Expect culture, chaos, raised eyebrows, strong opinions, and for Master J to ask Phillip to contest a parking fine he's recently received - live on air! For more information visit Master J on Facebook.
