Leeds Children's Hospital

'At a difficult time for most children and parents the musicians

from Brightside Music had a really positive effect on everyone.'

​

‘[Teenager] has been accessing hospital services ever since

birth and we have waited in many waiting rooms – but never

experienced such a happy, friendly, calming activity as we did

listening to and joining in with your music.’

​

'A wonderful surprise after attending clinic with a poorly, upset

girl to find her calmly listening and enjoying the music.'

​

'Our son was in his element listening to and participating in the music session. He thoroughly enjoyed it and the musicians were excellent with the children. Would love to see them again and have more fun making music together. Thank you for cheering him up.'

'It made a sunny day even sunnier.'
