“What beautiful music - it was a treat”

We're just back from our second outing with volunteers from Hilton Hotels -- and two groups of older neighbours who had a great time enjoying world-class music on their own doorstep.

Charlie, Ellie, Cathleen, Inez, Peggy, Mary, Norma, Denis and Lydia were escorted by the lovely Neringa, Glenn, Malin, Gaurav and Holly to LSO St Luke's down on Old Street, where they enjoyed the sound of a beautiful Steinway and two French Horns in a programme specially prepared by the LSO.

After the brilliant music, the groups decamped downstairs to the crypt for a free lunch (thank you, Sport Relief / The Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund and Islington Council!), before riding back home much entertained.
