A wonderful start to sessions in @WestYorkshireCA with our first session at #wrenthorpe. Brava Liz Ball and @suzisap for the huge amount of work you put into this all with the heart to serve the community. Can't wait to see how it develops #dementia#community#serve
It is very exciting when members of the team approach you wanting to set up their own projects in their area. This community choir is going to be epic! Read about tea and tunes here! TY @HighfieldPR and @suzisap#Wakefield

Just time at the end of my working week to say Happy Birthday to @LiveMusicNowUK Celebrating 45 years of social impact through music. Don't forget to give our #R4appeal a listen on Sunday! #LiveMusicNow45
As part of #LiveMusicNow45 birthday celebrations, the Yorkshire & Lincolnshire Advisory Committee hosted a “Paté & Puds” fundraising event, featuring guitarist Sam Rodwell.
The event raised £3,200 to continue providing social impact through music.

Not my last performance before lockdown, but this is from March 12 when soprano @suzisap and I gave a @LiveMusicNowUK concert in Barton-upon-Humber. Joining the #LetTheMusicPlay campaign calling for Government support for the music industry at this difficult time
These past few months have been a very strange time for us all, especially as musicians, but we are looking forward to the time when we can all get back together to make music in the same room again.

Channeling a bit of Rio Carnival spirit in today’s @LeedsPlayhouse Our Time session for people with dementia. Big shout out to the family carers who use their energy to support the person they love to have fun & creativity in their lives. #CarersWeek2020#MakeCaringVisible
Before our Yorkshire Lady drops her own little bundle of joy next month, we wanted to share another project we've been working on - one of our all-time favourites! Make sure you boogie along in your garden/bathroom/living room too!
