I worked as a musical director with Sing for Joy a choir set up for people with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological conditions, The first Choir was formed in 2001- meeting weekly in Kentish Town Health Centre. The second Choir, 4 years later, meeting in The Chapel in The National Hospital for Neurology in Queens Square, London. There is a short film at the bottom of this blog. xxx We performed, with both Choirs, many times, and I was privileged to be able to ask my friends in Music /Theatre/Comedy/ Dance to perform with us in order to raise money to keep the Choirs alive.

St Pancras Station. We did several performances there. I love everything to do with trains, stations, and singing with lovely people. Lucky me.
