The first&nbsp;looks at the Boyd Neel Orchestra&nbsp;and its role in the history of music-making in Britain from 1933 to 1953. During its twenty-year history this string orchestra made many recordings, gave numerous BBC broadcasts and over a thousand live performances. It included some of the leading string soloists of the time and had a reputation as a fine group with an original contribution in its innovative programming and performance style. Fiona has been awarded an Edison Fellowship for 2016-17 to work on the British Library&#39;s collection of recordings of this orchestra.&nbsp;The second book&nbsp;is a new biography of&nbsp;John Ireland, approaching the composer through his extended family.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><p><img alt="" src="http://www.open.ac.uk/people/sites/www.open.ac.uk.people/files/images/P1000258.JPG" style="height:400px; width:533px" /></p>
