Last week at Ada Lovelace we welcomed Oliver “Mississippi” MacDonald – a singer, guitarist and songwriter from London. MacDonald is a rising star, having been honoured with a session by Cerys Matthews on her BBC Radio 2 Blues show and championed by Mojo. We treated our wonderful Year 8 cohort to a masterclass in Blues music; linking to our KS3 Music curriculum.
MacDonald was accompanied by Mr Cundall, one of our wonderful Peripatetic teachers and our very own Year 8 student drummer Nicholas. Students heard songs from the greats: BB King, Jimmy Reed and Albert King as well as getting an insight into the history and context of Blues music!
