“Best group I have ever had in!!
They were brilliant, they delivered a fantastic concert, which the children loved. They engaged with the children with current songs and used call and response that was easy for them to follow. They moved around the room so that all the children got to see the instruments. Children were then split into two groups and challenged against each other.
50 minutes was just right to get them all up and moving and had great control over the large group and on top of all that had plenty of facts to teach the children about each instrument.
Paced well, fun, honestly AMAZING!”

“It was an amazing experience for the children.”
Thank you so much for coming to Millfields. We have had so many positive (unsolicited) comments from the children, including “It was the best day ever” “I really want to be a musician now” “It was amazing”.
The staff have also commented about how good the performance was and thoroughly enjoyed it on their own behalf, in addition to enjoying seeing the children’s reactions and hearing their comments. I spent most of the time in there with you, watching the children’s faces and reactions, which showed so much pleasure.
I’d have no hesitation in recommending you at all- it was an amazing experience for the children.
