December is usually our busiest time of year.
As we can’t share live music in person this year we have created something special for the festive season. Musicians from across the UK will come together to reimagine some festive favourites.
Please join us on our social media channels at 11am on Christmas Day and 4pm on New Year’s Eve.
You will hear collaborations from some of our incredible musicians including The Retrosettes, Dan Walsh, Martin Bickerton, Vesta Trio, Filkins Drift, Sian Francis, Claire Hastings, Top Brass Trio, Jason Sweeney, Emilie Parry-Williams, Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer, Eleri Darkins, Christine Adams & Lissie Bayford, Margaret Ferguson, Pegbox, Dawn Allen, Jenny Dyson, Sharon Durant and Emma Cayeux.
We also have four music experiences specially created by our musicians Holly Marland, Cherrington & Ward, Alastair Collingwood and Caroline Clipsham, which will be available on our YouTube channel for all to benefit from until 4 January 2021.
We are taking a break over the festive period and will be closed from 5pm on 23 December 2020, reopening 4 January 2021.
A memorable evening of Wine, Music and Song
Thank you to everyone who joined us and supported the Wine, Music and Song event. With music spanning centuries, the evening was a celebration of music in its many different roles.
Arts in Care Homes Day: Thanking Bert Smith
This Arts in Care Homes Day, we’re taking the time to thank Moyness Care Home’s Activities Coordinator Bert Smith, who has championed live music for care homes in Dundee for over 30 years. As Bert approaches retirement, he is looking back on his career and years of work with Music in Hospitals & Care.
World Alzheimer’s Month: Lifting spirits in Cumbria
Our musician Andy McKay has been visiting wards and care homes across Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria, where we have been able to share 29 hours of live music between September 2025 and May 2026. One of the spaces Andy visited is the Ramsey Unit at Furness General Hospital, an assessment unit for patients with organic illnesses such as dementia.
