A TALENTED teenage musician from Ulverston will showcase her skills when she performs on national radio.

Jess Gillam will appear on BBC Radio Four's Woman's Hour at 10am on Thursday as her musical career continues to reach new heights.

Jess made history when she became the first saxophonist ever to play in the final of BBC Young Musician in May, winning the woodwind section.

Fans will be able to hear her perform again from 10am when Jess will reach one of her biggest audiences yet on BBC Radio Four.

Speaking to the Evening Mail about what she loves about her instrument earlier this year, Jess said: "The saxophone is sometimes perceived just as a jazz instrument because it has a history in jazz.

"Sometimes there's a bit of a barrier, sometimes a misunderstanding, but it can be something classical.

"I see myself as a hybrid. I like to play across genres and I have lots of influences."
