Episode 5 is with Jose Nugent, a fiddle player from East Clare who lives and breathes inclusivity in her musical practice. 

Josie was inspiring to talk to about how she has made it her life mission to use her musical abilities for the power of good. We talk about her passion for teaching music to young people with learning difficulties, therapeutic work with autistic children and older adults with dementia, as well as her cross-community work in the North. She also has a thriving solo practice as a fiddle player and is hugely influenced by the modal structures of Hungarian composer Bela Bartok. We hear a sample of a a jig 'A Cambridge Cycle' from Josies solo album 'Modal Citizen' which you can find at www.josiebrianmusic.info.
