Live Music
We have a wide range of musicians who deliver the live music programme across our mental health wards. There is a strong emphasis on engagement with service users, rather than just performance.
We welcome applications from musicians who would like to take part in the programme - to enquire please email: artsforhealth@mpft.nhs.uk.
Feedback from service users, staff & guests:
Marvellous atmosphere, very therapeutic, excellent music - I enjoyed the beautiful music very much - Brilliant music from incredibly talented musicians! - Most enjoyable and relaxing.
Music in Hospitals & Care
We have teamed up with Music in Hospitals & Care to deliver a new series of live music concerts at St George’s, Stafford and Redwoods Centre, Shrewsbury. The concerts will be delivered by two professional musicians - Dan Walsh on banjo, guitar, mandolin and vocals and Bob Gessey on guitar, vocals and keyboard.
