From an early performance on the BBC See Hear! programme his fate was sealed - a love of performing and sharing his experiences as a Deaf person make him a hugely popular performer. He is taking his act on a national tour and this evening marks 40 years of performing. Rebecca Withey is a writer, Mindfulness practitioner, performing artist and a tutor amongst many other things.

Her career started many years ago on BBC’s Grange Hill and her work takes her all over the UK . This evening she is taking the opportunity to perform some songs she has written herself.
 
All 3 of our nationally recognised performers believe that being Deaf doesn't mean you can’t have a relationship with music. Through their performances they share their belief that a persons affinity with music does not depend on their ability to hear sound.
