A new week and fresh shakers
As promised – if you were around last week – our egg shakers will all be re-wrapped and good as new for next week’s sessions.

Music Makers – in a rush
Dear all, Very briefly this week. I’ve run into a “perfect storm” of family life and work this Saturday.

(A really big thank you to everyone who did join the Sign-Up sessions. I know we all really enjoyed them. Thanks for being part of them). So starting on …
Easter break 2017

Last week before Easter hols!
Dear all, Next week’s sessions are the final ones before the Easter holidays. We finish at St Clement’s on the 30th, and will re-convene at The Edge on Monday 24th April. Our household will be welcoming a new member during the break – a Manchester Terrier puppy called Tierney will be joining us – so …
