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.
Concerts take place at 2pm on Tuesdays in the Bistro at the Redwoods Centre, Shrewsbury on the following dates:
17 & 31 October, 14 & 21 November, 5 & 19 December
All are welcome to attend and 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.
We have teamed up with Music in Hospitals & Care to deliver a 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 and vocals and Bob Gessey on guitar, piano and vocals.
The concerts take place on the wards at St Georges and in the Bistro at Redwoods.
