While audiences enjoyed the first of the St George’s Day Shows at Brick Lane Music Hall, the Outreach team were out and about, performing at Hawthorne Green Residential and Nursing Home in Stepney.

Brian Walker led the show which was also attended by pupils from the local St Paul’s Way Trust School who had volunteered to help serve tea. They were having their first taste of Music Hall and needless to say were quickly given a crash course by Brian, including a masterclass in “Ballin’ the Jack” and the finer points of a good old sing-along, such as when to “oi” in Lambeth Walk. They were a great credit to their school and gamely joined in with everything before taking tea round to the residents.

As the party got into full swing, Lowri-Ann Richards, pictured with Brian below, sang songs from the four countries of the British Isles and tea was served to a rousing chorus of “Land of Hope and Glory”.
