  • Upbeats: Season 4, Episode 13 (Braving The Harp)
    Nov 2 2024

    When Jon likens harp music to twinkly bedtime stories, Haz champions the instrument, taking it beyond the usual clichés. Together they consider its Celtic history, how much patience you need to tune it, the most-loved harp effects, and why harpists are the best people to ask to unscrew a jar.

  • Upbeats: Season 4, Episode 12 (Braving the Sax)
    Sep 28 2024

    JJ and Haz try to convert each other to the sound of the sax, celebrating its parps, growls and bends. Along the way: why Debussy called the sound 'aquatic', why it reminds JJ of custard, and what it means to be 'Careless Whispered' while at music college.
