These include the Gala Theatre Durham, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the National Theatre in London and performances for the Royal Family.

We have a large following who attend our theatre productions, as well as a large pool of groups who book us for private functions. With one or two full scale productions each year, an annual winter concert and on average one private performance every month, we certainly keep ourselves busy!
