A Little Orchestra

The story

Hello! We’re a small, London-based pop orchestra led by Monster Bobby of The Pipettes. We formed in February 2010 and play a variety of instruments including violin, viola, bassoon, clarinet and flute. We play both modern, minimalist classical pieces and original compositions, and we also enjoy accompanying bands. Since we formed in 2010, we have collaborated with a range of indiepop singers, including Darren Hayman, The Pipettes, Elizabeth from Allo Darlin’, Pocketbooks, Shirley Lee of Spearmint and The Loves.
