Blind Notes with Andrea Begley
Season 1, Episode 910, Aug 13, 2021, 09:00 AM
Blind Notes a seven-part conversation series of radio programmes featuring one-to-one interviews with musicians from around the world, all of whom are completely blind.
Presented by Ravi Sagoo, who himself has the sight condition keratoconus, the interviews are mixed with examples of the musicians' own music and those that have influenced or been important to them.
In this episode Ravi speaks with Andrea Begley, who won The Voice UK, which nearly never happened after turning up at the wrong time to the original audition, but she was given a chance and ended up winning the series. She didn’t realise judges Tom Jones and Danny O’Donoghue had turned round.
Blind Notes is a 7 part series created for RNIB Connect Radio by Demus Productions Ltd and supported by Audio Content Fund.
