We work with over 300 musicians, including some who have been with us for many years and have seen lots of changes to popular music, health and care settings and the charity over the decades. Singer and guitarist Bernie Fawcett has been working with us in the North of England and North Wales since 2015.
We are proud to be involved in the So Many Beauties dementia-friendly music festival taking place at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on Friday 20 September.
Our musician Laura Stephenson, who joined us in 1986, shares her memories of working with the charity over the years.
Our Musician Spotlight for May is singer/pianist Alastair Collingwood, who has been working with us in South England since 2018. Alastair’s wide repertoire of classic songs played in a jazz style make him popular both in hospital wards and care home lounges.
Our Musician Spotlight for January is pianist Caroline Clipsham, who has been working with us for over 20 years. Caroline’s warm personality and wide repertoire, covering anything from nursery rhymes to classical pieces, make her popular in a variety of healthcare settings.
Our musicians have been speaking about some of the most significant moments they have experienced whilst sharing Joy Through Live Music with Music in Hospitals & Care. Dan Walsh has been working with us in South England since 2017.
Please give today to help improve the health and wellbeing of children and adults through the healing power of live music.
