I'm truly honoured to be an ambassador for BBC Music Day. The BBC have played a huge part in my journey so far. Without BBC Introducing and support from Radio 1, 2 and 6Music, I definitely wouldn't be in the very fortunate position I am in today. This feels like a great opportunity for me to thank the BBC for their support so far and also to celebrate their great work; providing us all with constant access to the things we love and opening doors to endless pathways of new musical knowledge!

Where it all beganpublished at 10:41
In the early hours of this morning, probably before you were awake, Saxophonist Roz Sluman kicked off the Hadrian's Wall of Sound relay with a performance on BBC Breakfast. If you missed it, you can now watch it again right here.
The relay began at dawn from Bowness-on-Solway and will draw to a triumphant conclusion at Wallsend tonight on The One Show.
