This year I'm doing 4 performances of "A Flute & Harpy Christmas" in Cheshire, and I'll be joined by the wonderful Nichola Hunter on flute.

Three of them are private performances, between 21st-23rd December bringing a little bit of Christmas concert magic to elderly residents in care homes across Cheshire.

On the 22nd December we will be doing a public performance at St Mary's Church in Sandbach, and for that  we'll be joined by special guests Nick Birch on Euphonium and Kevin Birch on Organ.

Nichola and I did a couple of duo outreach performances for the Snowman Tour at the end of November. We performed at the Manchester Childrens Hospital and then to a dementia unit in Eccles for Pro-Viva who are a wonderful forward-thinking caring organisation who sponsored one of the performances at this years Snowman Tour as a relaxed performance aimed at children and adults with a range of abilities and differing requirements.

Yay!!! It's that time of the year for The Snowman Tour. As featured in The Guardian, The Sunday Times and the Telegraph as one of the 'top things to do at Christmas'. A Screening of Raymond Brigg's classic Christmas film to live orchestra, with lots of other seasonal musical treats. 

Lots of dates across the North of England from 1st-18th December and some are already booked up so BOOK NOW!
