Wow! Uprising was utterly extraordinary. It was the combination of the sumptuous score, the young voices of school children and the subject matter that just blew me away!

The teenage and community chorus for this production have been amazing. One show left at 3pm today.

The English Tune Session at the Rose and Crown in Walthamstow is now on third Monday of the month at 7.30pm – starting on 17th March 2025. fromtheedge.org/2025/03/13/c...
