Atholl Ransome plays alto and soprano saxophone with Mr. Wilson’s Second Liners.

Trained in classical & jazz, multi instrumentalist and skilled music producer Atholl Ransome is as equally at home creating a hybrid orchestral cinematic soundtrack on a state of the art studio DAW as he is improvising on saxophone or flute in front of a festival crowd.

After Graduating Leeds College of Music with a BA(Hons) Jazz Studies, Atholl formed The Haggis Horns. They went on to release many albums on their own Haggis Records label.

He has a star studded CV and has performed with the likes of Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse, John Legend & The Roots, Adele, Duran Duran, Corinne Bailey Rae, Dimitri From Paris, and Jess Glynne. He has written, arranged & recorded horns on more than 500 commercially available tracks.

His long career in the music industry as a versatile session musician has given him the experience in working with horn sections to orchestras live and in studios worldwide.

He was awarded an Arts Council England DYCP to further his study as a composer. Professional and approachable and passionate about composition he can work remotely in his studio to clients requirements, crafting contemporary scores with depth and expression.

Atholl also plays regularly with Klonk a gypsy/klezmer genre-defying festival mash-up band based in Huddersfield.
