#Yourchestra – Meet Michael Ready (flute)

Meet different members of the orchestra every week! Our orchestra is your orchestra.

1.  What instrument do you play and how long have you been playing with Tinderbox?

I play the flute and I’ve been playing with Tinderbox for around 3 years.

My first musical memory would be playing recorder in a talent show! I must have been about 7 or 8 and I was shaking I was so nervous.

3. Which record / band rocks your world at the moment?

Jethro Tull. Classic. Plus the jazz flute is just great.

4. What’s your favourite Tinderbox memory or gig?

The first gig I did with Tinderbox was at the Kelburn Music Festival and I really remember the atmosphere, it was amazing.

5. What’s your fave track on the album?

Quetzalcoatl. Just for the name! No, it’s a good piece of music and I love the way it builds up, very bouncy.
