Highlight performances include one of the main slots at Stratford River Festival (in front of 4,000 people), as well as number of gigs in Birmingham at venues such as the O2 Institute.
Playing Glastonbury

22-year-old Tilly Chester, from Malvern, is a member of the British Paraorchestra which is a collection of talented musicians with disabilities.

Birthday Wishes
Ìý
We decided to give our birthday wishes to you and we aimed to make thirty come true.
Ìý
It didn't matter how big or small, we just wanted them to make a real difference.ÌýÌý
Ìý
We've been busy working away on the best ones and now summer's here, we've decided it's time to start granting them!Ìý
Ìý
One of the first to arrive was from Shirley Goddard who leads the VoxRox choir in Malvern.
Ìý
She told us that many of the members of her choir have had tough times in their lives, but they've been brought together by music and singing.
Ìý
Shirley said nothing would make her happier than for them to be able to record a track professionally - a treat they really deserve. And we're going to make it happen.
