Graham Rickson
Bio
Graham (pictured, left) has been reviewing classical albums and films for theartsdesk since 2009, and his work has also appeared in publications as diverse as Waitrose Weekend and the British Horn Society’s triannual magazine, The Horn Player. When not wading through box sets celebrating long-dead conductors or watching 1960s Czech films, he can regularly be spotted teaching classes of eight-year olds to play recorders and ukuleles. Graham once collaborated with Patricia Routledge on a late night Radio 4 drama and has participated in a BBC reality tv contest.
