Episode 42 – In Conversation with John Sweeney
We were lucky enough to get together with dance pianist and silent film composer, living legend John Sweeney.
John has the most amazing career in dance accompaniment and silent movies, and we well and truly put the spotlight on him to find out about his life and career, from a person, who on the surface is rather understated.
John is also famed for his extremely varied and sophisticated improvising and that is the life blood of his work as an accompanist, and we ask him in-depth about his training and education in music that has shaped him and the way he accompanies dance.
