Musical Treat

Patients, visitors, and the hospice team were treated to a wonderful performance by award winning harpist Tomos Xerri, all thanks to the generosity of Andi's Gift

Show Time

The harpist, Tomos, spent the afternoon at Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice performing and talking with patients, visitors, and the hospice team (those lucky enough to be on duty!).

In addition to performing, there was plenty of time for people to ask burning questions.

Such as: "How long does it take to learn the basics?".   Two years was the reply!

and

"Why did you decide to play the harp?", it turns out it's in the family.
