Join us for our “virtual” concerts online…
We’re recording new performances as and when we can, and those performances are being released on our YouTube channel at 11:15 on Sunday mornings as though they were “normal” live Coffee Concerts until we’re allowed to invite our audience back into the Holywell Music Room again. We will announce the release of each concert via our usual communications channels – email, Facebook and Twitter. (You can sign up to our mailing list using the form below or simply follow us on Facebook or Twitter to receive our latest news.)
Scroll down for information on (and links to) all the virtual Coffee Concert recordings currently available for you to enjoy…
