Dear all, Just a quick holding post to say that there are no sessions this week – it’s half term (stroppy nine year old at home – going on fifteen – joy here!!) We’ll re-convene week beginning Monday 4th June. News of the summer. Last week I had a meeting with Dom – Manager at …

A bit cynical on my part I know, and I hope I’m wrong, but it seems to me that for the last couple of years we have a gloriously hot – but tiny – window of a few days in Spring, followed by several months of grey dampness that is the new British Summer. Come …

Senior Moment: So I almost metaphorically dropped the baby last Wednesday. I turn up to set up – loads of time – feeling un-stressed – until one of my worst possible nightmare scenarios starts to manifest itself. I don’t have the tablet computer that plays the music with me! Massive adrenalin dump, full-on panic. I …
Dear all, The Grand Sign-Up Session Experiment is over! Basically this seemed like an excellent idea on paper but not enough people transferred interest into attendance. (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 …
The last sessions of Owen’s Little Music Makers are on Thursday 30 March; the new term starts Monday 24 April.
