Kate Molleson meets Gavin Bryars, the celebrated and much-loved
composer whose kaleidoscopic career defies categorisation. As an
inveterate collaborator, Bryars has worked alongside figures as
diverse as Brian Eno, Tom Waites, the Hilliard Ensemble, Mainz
Opera and Faroese singer-songwriter, Eivør Pálsdottír. He has
collected a lifetime’s-worth of amazing stories along the way,
and Kate invites Gavin to share some of the many surprising
twists and turns in his journey from experimental outsider to
concert hall favourite.
