The Greystones

In collaboration with Concerteenies, we are delighted to offer a performance specifically for KS1 looked after children aged 4 - 7. The interactive concert is on Saturday 29th January, 1:30 – 2:15 at The Greystones and will feature the fantastic Martin Harwood and Cath James. With bubbles, percussion, props and informal introductions, this is a fun and engaging concert for adults and their children.

Join Martin Harwood and Cath James (fiddles/ guitar/ vocals) for a Burns Night special - foot-stomping jigs and reels, beautiful Scottish songs and a chance to join the kids in some ceilidh (Scottish) dancing. 

With songs, dancing, listening as well as bubbles, percussion, props and informal introductions, this is a fun and informal gig for adults and their KS1 children (aged 4 – 7) that are looked after.
