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.

21 January 2025 - Bob Gessey - fabulous guitar and vocals with a variety of songs in all styles 

25 February - Steve Tams - a range of piano classics and popular tunes on the Steinway grand piano 

25 March - James Taylor - very talented and versatile pianist playing our Steinway grand piano

29 April - Marko & Rob - music across the decades on guitar & vocals 

27 May - Ben Taplin & Fergus Reid - guitar and vocals 

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.
