Realworld Music Deal

With the support of Equal ICI, Moseley Sound Recordings? (MSR) is running a world music project with Birmingham-based musicians. Seven Hills in Texas and the World Music Orchestra are currently recording an album due to be published by Peter Gabriel?s company, Realworld.

With musicians from Cameroon, Iran, Togo, Iraq, Angola, Zimbabwe, Russia and Pakistan, the music interweaves their diverse cultures and experiences.

MSR is helping these musicians, many of whom are refugees, to become industry ready. They are assisting their membership into professional musician associations and increasing their potential for working as session players.

The amount of talent here in Birmingham is incredible. Musicians from around the world are living in Birmingham and have a lot of to offer the industry. Our project has created interest from the likes of Realworld and Womad. *John Hemming, MSR
