We've been visiting HMP Holme House on Teesside since last September as part of our Ambassadors programme. We've been working with residents to get them singing regularly with the help of our leader David Pisaro and our fab volunteers. We'll be sad to finish next week!
Applications for the our Local Area Committees are closing on 8 July. We've expanded our existing areas and introduced committees in London & the North West.
Commitment is only a couple of hours a month, to support and promote our music making.

We had a lovely morning finishing our Ambassadors programme at HMP Long Lartin on Tuesday. It was just a shame that it wasn't a full day but we still managed some great Michael Jackson and sea shanty singing!
