Ashley Walsh

Way, way back (many centuries ago, not long after the Bible began) one of my clients asked me to come to Highgate with them to watch a new musical. I love the Plews who run Upstairs at the Gatehouse and I love new musicals so I was thrilled.

What I discovered there was The Jury, an intelligent, intricate, musically rich piece and so I was delighted when the composer, Ashley, contacted me not long after lockdown hit. We laughed a lot and bitched a lot and generally hit it off.

I’m really excited by Ashley’s work and the breadth of his talent - he moves seamlessly from stage to screen and his work is complex and thoughtful.

He’s an award winning film composer, a musical theatre composer, he works with legends like Divina diCampo and The Frock Destroyers - he’s a multimedia talent. Ashley is currently one of the musical supervisors for AIDA Cruises.
