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.

Concerts will take place at both venues, St Georges and Redwoods from 1.30 – 3.30pm on the following Tuesdays:

24th May, 28th June, 26th July & 30th August – further dates tbc. 

We are looking forward to a social and enjoyable experience for all concerned.
