The Pumpkinseeds Session Orchestra
The Pumpkinseeds Session Orchestra (also known as the Pumpkinseeds Chamber Orchestra) is a collective of live and studio session musicians. They are a group of exceptionally talented friends gathered from all walks of musical life and nurtured in the fertile furrows of Pumpkinfield. It is always a joy to be able to bring together such gifted folk as these, who revel in giving so much of themselves in making the music of others.
Slowly slowly they are having their faces inserted below, but for the sake of giving them at least some presence, they have been, are, and will continue to both be and have been (and in no particular order):
Kate Miguda, Seonaid Aitken, Liam Lynch, Gisela Hans, Gongbo Jiang, Asher Zaccardelli, Kirsten Drew, Kirsty Orton, Shelagh McKail, Helena Zambrano Quisp, Elita Poulter, Emily Scott, Justyna Jablonska, Emma Lloyd, Feargus Hetherington, Eliza Keating, Graham Coe, Aaron Macgregor, Patsy Reid, Sarah Leonard, Georgia Boyd, Emma Connell-Smith, Rik Evans, Simon Graham, David Laing, Yvette Rosie, Emily Walker, Harriet Davidson, Robin Mason, Claire Telford, Alexis Bennett, Gill Risi, Chris Sargeant, Marsailidh Groat, Freya Hall.
Their skills, constant enthusiasm and consistent artistry continue to push standards ever higher – it is no overstatement that both individually and collectively they profoundly inform the Pumpkinfield sound, invariably elevating each project beyond expectation.
