And finally a few pics of the strings from our Aug 29 show. Always a pleasure to work with Madeleine Antoine, Emma Buss, Alix Hamilton and Emma Vanderwal, casting spells over the audience and putting up with my terrible jokes and attempts to keep to a schedual!

Our next show is Nov 29 Tender is the Night - Joan and the Giants and The Bures Band

Check out this incredible event coming up this week! Julia Nicholls Music is a regular composer for Tender is the Night & the concert this Thursday night will feature new songs written by Kathy Potter & Mia Brine who also regularly write for us.
Madeleine Antoine (part of the Tender Strings) will be premiering a new piece and playing at some time soon too. A wonderful celebration of women in music (with some of my fav people).

This one from James Rogers of The Little Lord Street Band feels like a songwriting classic. Hits all the feels (with next to no rehearsal with the strings).
