My guest mixer this week is Rachael Wood
A guitarist and composer with 20 years of live and recording experience. She has played with Sinead O’Connor and Skunk Anansie as well as being the musical director for Cirque du Soleil for 8 years.
Most importantly - for me anyway, and I suspect most of my listeners - she is currently the guitarist in The Wedding Present.
