Bill Badley in conversation with Roger Kneebone

Countercurrent: conversations with Professor Roger Kneebone

Plucked string instruments run through Bill Badley's career. As a lutenist he founded and toured with the Dufay Collective, a mediaeval ensemble. Fascinated by the music and cultures of the Arab world - especially the oud, forerunner of the European lute - he travelled extensively in the countries of the Middle East. Bill has worked in theatre, film and television as a documentary maker and producer. In a further career switch, he is now teaching children and young people.
