Interview

Jon Cohen

Producer video feature at Sphere Studios, London

Jon Cohen chats with George Shilling about recording a number of diverse projects including a major project with bagpipes and how not going to 'posh' classical schools didn't stand in his way!

Jon has been very busy in the last few years having produced Voices Of the Valley by The Fron Male Voice Choir which was the fastest selling classical record of all time, going gold in three days and is about to reach double platinum sales in the UK alone. It was the number one classical record for over three months in 2007 and is still in the top 10.
