Lucy moved to Cardiff in 2003 and soon after ended up working for Cardiff Council on “Cardiff 2005” – a cultural programme to celebrate Cardiff’s Centenary as a City and Golden Jubilee as the Capital of Wales. Gaining significant insights into cultural and community organisations in South Wales she went on to work on the Heads of the Valleys Programme, working as the coordinator for Caerphilly Council - her perfect office job. Working with all different departments from Engineers to Conservationists to Health officials, she coordinated the delivery of projects totalling over £4million. It was only in the second year of her job that she realised that her perfect ‘job’ was to play the cello. So she started spreading her wings further, seeking opportunities to play her recently developed and discovered funky tunes and age-old classical favourites at open mic nights across Cardiff, and playing in local orchestras including Sinfonia Cymru and Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra. In March 2007 she retired from office work and dedicated herself fully to playing music. She accepted the position of cellist with the Mavron Quartet in April 2007 and has enjoyed the busy and varied schedule they create. In addition to her quartet work she regularly performs solo work as “Lucello”, challenging audiences’ perceptions of what solo cellos sound like and are capable of by seeking new and alternative repertoire including Aaron Minsky’s solo cello works and her own compositions.
