Mrs H & the Sing-along Band bring their unique family music back to Folkestone with a lineup of musicians including members of Red Snapper, Beth Orton and The Leisure Society. Their aim is to provide quality music for children that adults will love too! Bringing together elements of Folk, Soul, Afro, Latin, Dub, comedy and theatre, the Sing-along band have been wooing audiences across the land. Bring your voices, silly dances, a sprinkling of mischief and don’t hold back from joining in the fun! “The Gareth Malone for under fives” – Evening Standard “With her unique spirit Mrs H can woo capacity audiences to sing, dance and forget the world outside.” – Camp Bestival “Mrs H Sings is always a powerful reminder that life can be full of joy even in the hardest of times.” – The Royal Court Theatre Accessibility: The Band was created as an inclusive and accessible experience. They play in theatres, care homes, SEND schools, community centres, festivals and all sorts of venues. As you can see from their films, their performances are all relaxed shows, in fact extremely relaxed, we want people to join in in whatever way they want to. They are however noisy, raucous shows so audiences need to be aware that they are not sensory relaxed shows (where noise is kept low). To book Unwaged tickets, please contact the Box Office.
