Hello everyone! mmmmm spring feels likes it’s in the air!

Bring along your partners, family and friends, kids welcome. Share your talent with us on the night. We’re hoping the ‘4 strings’ will make another appearance, the ‘Ukcandoit’s’, the ‘Dementia group’, ‘Adam and friends’ , ‘djembe drum’ and our sing and play along all together sessions. The ‘Bar Boys’ from Jacks will be singing ‘I wanna Be Like You’ so practise that song so they can sing along to us. Please let me know if you have a song or three you would like to perform on the night so we can slot you in. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience performing, no pressure, surrounded by friends, or just come on down and have a brilliant night.
