“Emily and Jody played a special concert for us at home. We are all retired and living independently, but we enjoy some activities together. The music was beautiful and melodic, leading one lady to say that she felt really relaxed and would sleep well that night. Excellent musicianship, coupled with sensitivity and warmth: such a lovely evening.” (Paula, Retirement Community Resident)

“A class act” (The Mirror)

“A joy to listen to. Lovely, thoughtfully written songs, very poetic.” (Jane, Retirement Community Resident)

Emily and Jody are both based in Bath and are happy to travel to retirement communities in Bristol and surrounding areas. They ask for a guaranteed fee of £150 and ideally a minimum of 10 people in the audience.  If you would like them to come and sing for your retirement community, please contact Emily direct.
