Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

At this point in the year, we'd normally be coming to the end of a busy season's worth of gigs and concerts. 

Like most bands, our gig diary was obliterated in March and we haven't had a single performance since.

And whilst our year has been pretty quiet, 2020 has been one of the busiest for our NHS. Southmead Hospital, one of our region's greatest assets,  has been chosen as one of the 50 hubs in the country to help roll out the Covid vaccine and we want to help, in whatever way we can, to support the staff continue their vital work.

To that end, we've put together an original narrative poem underscored with recordings from our previous Christmas concerts.

Despite all the difficulties 2020 has brought, we would like to finish the year on a high note and this light-hearted story does just that. It celebrates music, family, friendship, hope and above all, tea.

Thank you for watching and, if you're able, please consider donating to this wonderful cause.
