Alexandra Davidson

I’m a professional bassoon player who took up the instrument at the age of 11, pretty much the minute I was big enough to hold it up (almost) properly. Eventually it became my job and I’ve since played in the orchestra for Elton John tours, performed on board the QE2 and made odd noises on the soundtrack for Dr Who. When not playing I’m often to be found at a pub quiz, where my specialist subject is 1990s pop lyrics.
