D. Fraser

Project Director - Bedford Sings

Gennie and Greg offer a wonderfully imaginative and timely tale of the need for kindness in nature and in the world. They bring it to life through their: warm engagement with children, musical brilliance, fabulous imagination, natural authority, deep educational and curriculum knowledge, the piece’s tight structure, the fantastic resource pack and their massive experience of working with young people around the world. This is real quality. Book them and find out if the bird finds the right tree …

Head of Infant and Junior Music - Nottingham High School

Sheer delight on the faces of the children - they were totally engaged in the performance! The Year 1 pupils were particularly enthralled! It was perfectly pitched for KS1 pupils.
It was a pleasure to welcome Greg and Gennie into our school. Their clear love of music was inspiring for the children and the heartwarming story of Evergreen, with its clear message of kindness, was a lovely way for our pupils to experience live music.

Assistant Head - Elmhurst School for Boys & Primary Schools Manager - British Film Institute (BFI)

Gennie and Greg were a pleasure to have in school. They really captured the children's attention from the moment they walked through the door- it was great to see so many singing along and fully immersed in the story. Having such a high quality music and drama performance without having to leave school with KS1 and EYFS is fantastic- we will definitely be booking their next show!
