Our musicians speak about some of the most significant moments they have experienced whilst sharing Joy Through Live Music with Music in Hospitals & Care.
Singer and harpist Sam Hickman has been working with us in Wales since 2015.
“One of my favourite moments was when I was on tour in Devon and Cornwall in the summer of 2018. I’d spent four days driving all over playing in all sorts of venues and for all sorts of audiences. One of my last care homes on the tour was just such a lovely concert, I started and everyone instantly got into the music. There was dancing and singing, everyone just had a real blast and it made all the driving around totally worth it!”

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.
