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 feature two professional musicians - Dan Walsh on banjo, guitar, mandolin and vocals and Bob Gessey on guitar, vocals and keyboard.

The concerts take place at Redwoods and St Georges on Tuesdays at 1.30pm on 27 Sept, 25 Oct, 29 Nov, 20 Dec 2022 and 23 Jan 2023.
