I had a lovely email from a member of the audience from the September 4th Kanneh-Masons concert. The email said: “Just a line to thank you for facilitating the utterly spellbinding evening with the Kanneh Mason family last night. We were entranced by the music, as well as the personal nature of the occasion, with […]
During last night’s wonderful concert, I mentioned that the family had been unable to bring any merchandise with them, and that I would post links on our website. Sheku currently has two CDs available, ‘Inspiration’, which can be found here and ‘Elgar’ which can be found here. Isata also has two CDs available, ‘Romance’, a disk […]
Our artists for the September 2021 concert, the Kanneh-Mason family, have been awarded Best Classical Artists for 2021 by Global. We are not overly surprised as they were an inspiration to the nation during the first lockdown, performing regularly from their hallway, garden, or street! They almost made the superb Carnival of the Animals album […]

Currently, we are all under quarantune/lockdown and no concerts will be taking place. We will cancel as soon as it is no longer possible to stage them, […]

On the 30th August 2019 Lisa Friend, Craig Ogden, and the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet will be releasing a CD they recorded late last […]
Photo credit Robin Clewley When we were booked Sheku Kanneh-Mason (back in 2018), his management team suggested that we would need a pianist to accompany him, and recommended his sister Isata. Little did we know at that time how Isata’s career was going to take off. Iasata, 23, is currently atop the classical charts with […]
DEBUT Opera – Conquests of Love – 3rd August 2019 DEBUT came to Bayham Old Abbey and performed their wonderful new opera ‘Conquests of Love’ to huge acclaim. Here are a number of photos of the evening.
