Book NowThe Broken Orchestra was founded in 2010 by Carl Conway Davis and Pat Dooner. What began as a creative experiment developed over ten years as the duo expanded into soundtracks, audio walking tours and performing as a band. Their music has featured on BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6 Music, and they’ve played in some of the UK’s most prestigious venues. With the support of local partners such as BBC Introducing Humberside and Humber Street Sesh, they’ve been commissioned to work with such brilliant festivals as Freedom Festival Arts Trust, Hull Jazz Festival, and BBC Contains Strong Language as well as being supported in this work by Arts Council England. They have also collaborated with notable musicians and artists such as Inyang Bassey (Moby), Melanie Pain (Nouvelle Vague), Anna Uhuru (Abstract Orchestra) & Shawn Lee.
Commissioned by Freedom Festival Arts Trust and Hull Maritime with support from Arts Council England, Hull City Council and IN SITU Platform.
