VICKY COWLES

Vicky first fell in love with Prog as a child listening to her aunt’s record collection including Dark Side of the Moon and various Moody Blues albums. She had instrumental lessons at school and went on to study at the Royal College of Music. As a session musician she has had the immense privilege to share a stage with acts including Del Palmer and Preston Heyman (Kate Bush), Robbie Williams, UB40, Kool and the Gang and jazz greats including Barrie Forgie, Sheila Tracy, Bill Geldard and Don Lusher. Vicky has performed around the world for clients including Bollywood stars, famous footballers and UK Royalty and performed in venues as diverse as local theatres, jazz clubs West End Theatres and the Royal Albert Hall. She has appeared on BBC TV and radio as well as MTV and commercial and international channels. Vicky also works regularly on musical theatre productions and with a number of Pink Floyd Tributes.
