Julia Palmer

Julia's career as a 'cross-over' cellist reached a pinnacle in 1999 when she was invited to tour with Nigel Kennedy, playing his inimitable brand of Jimi Hendrix. Nigel then introduced her to the Malvern Hills where she now lives with her husband, Philip, and two young children, in a magnificent town mansion, The Grove, which uniquely has its own concert hall and stage where both Edward Elgar and George Bernard Shaw have performed and where she and her husband hope to establish a creative and performing arts centre. Work on her own brand of English eclectic music - anything from folk tunes through classical interludes to full-blown 'rave' anthems - will now resume after a maternity gap. Julia first performed with Gavin and Maurice fourteen years ago on their Dead Flowers tour.
