Held at one of our favourite places - The Horseshoe - there was lots of laughter, and playing,
and so many friends and family made it a great atmosphere.
Thanks all.

The Drones in Leicester
We have 4 days work in Leicester over this autumn, working with young people with Special Educational Needs. Our first day was a great success at the Soar Valley Music Centre.
Here's some quotes following the day:
“It’s so creative, it gives the children freedom to express themselves and experiment with instruments”
“They get all the kids involved. I’ve really seen their confidence grow today, and children of all different abilities have got involved”
“I’m really impressed. They’ve been really focused, everyone’s been taking part. It’s lovely how the group understand the individual needs of the children. Our group is quite complex, so it was nice how patient the group was, and how there was both audio and visual stimulants. All of the children loved it, and they interacted well with the music. I would definitely bring a group to this event again”
