JAC SAYS

My Parents are both musicians, so I've always been involved with music in some kind of way. They introduced me to several instruments as a child, and after fumbling through piano, violin, cello and trombone, I found a connection with the flute- enough to see me through a degree in classical music with it. However, whilst at the Academy of Performing Arts, I was exposed to more than just classical music. This began a slow burning but definite passion for performing music in other areas outside the classical genre. So, when Emily and Grant asked me to join Idle 55 in 2001, I didn't hesitate. Learning the bass guitar has been fantastic, and I feel like found the instrument suited to, playing excellent music in an environment that fun and challenging. I wouldn't trade it now for anything!
