Come and join the all singing, all dancing, interactive Mrs H Sings for a morning of music for children that adults love too! Mrs H and the band did a hugely enjoyable show here last year, and was very busy. Featuring members of Beth Orton’s band, Emily Barker’s Red Clay Halo and Red Snapper on an array of instruments.
Bringing together elements of folk, soul, afro, latin, dub, comedy and theatre this unique band gives the ‘sing-along’ with a new lease of life for all the family to join in.
Bring your voices, a sprinkling of mischief and don’t hold back from joining in the fun 🙂
“A euphoric communal experience that needs to be dived in to” Helen Thorn, Scummie Mummy podcast
“Mrs H Sings is always a powerful reminder that life can be full of joy” Sasha Wares, The Royal Court Theatre
As with everything at Ashburton Arts Centre, there are three ticket prices to choose from – you can decide which to buy for you and your children. If there’s a lot of you and buying tickets in this way still means that it costs too much, please email boxoffice@ashburtonarts.org.uk and we can sort something out.

Mrs H and the Sing-along Band is a part of a larger collective of professional musicians united by the passion of bringing quality music to children and their families, music for all the family. Founded in 2015, the band is made up of members from Red Snapper, Beth Orton, The Leisure Society, Imagined Village and Emily Barker including Ali Friend, Gill Sandell and Ted Barnes. Much praised for their joyful, euphoric performances the band is all about participation. Part music, part theatre and comedy, there really is no one else around doing what they do. Alongside their regular weekly gigs in London the band have toured and performed extensively, including venues and festivals such as Latitude, Beautiful Days, Camp Bestival, High Tide, National Theatre, Barbican, the Quarterhouse and sold out shows at The Union Chapel, London.
In 2018, supported by Arts Council England and Waltham Forest Council, they developed their intergenerational project ‘All Together Now’, bringing young families and older generations together through music. They have made four albums/ books and are featured on the hugely successful YOTO product range.
Doors open at 10.30am
