Listen - Relax - Dance - Play

Join Concerteenies’ creative practitioner, Sarah Carroll, and our team of professional musicians for a relaxing morning of music with your baby at Adventures - the newly-renovated Highfield Adventure Playground in Sharrow.

Listening to a wide variety of live music with your baby is great for bonding, relaxation, communication, active listening and well-being. There will be instruments, bubbles, scarves and more to explore with your little one.

This week’s concert features Ford Collier, a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and performer of folk music who specialises in weaving influences from diverse traditions into his music. Since starting his music career in his teens, he has performed at festivals including Glastonbury, regularly toured the UK, released four studio albums with his two bands, and received a nomination for the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk award. While already a skilled performer on low whistle and guitar, Ford's curiosity led him to learning the Indian tabla drums while studying for his music degree, which allowed him to develop  some of the richness of Indian rhythmic language in his music, and from which he branched out to further percussion instruments including the West-African calabash. The deep respect for the music of India and its intricate rhythms, and broad curiosity for the wider music world that this experience gave Ford has made him uniquely able to absorb and experiment with the different musical traditions he encounters.
