 Thanks so much to everyone who came to support our March Dial Up! We were celebrating the incredible contributions made by our Music Man, Dial Up pianist Jon Medcalf! Fittingly we had a record breaking crowd! If you missed it, you missed a treat! Photos below, and I hope you can join us at our Movie and Musical Special at the Seven Dials Club, 8pm on Friday April 20th! Much love, Alex xx

 Me presenting Jon with his card and gifts
 Yes, I made the card! I'm a danger with glitter and a tube of Pritt Stick lol!
 Bandana Gill, Tracy Holtham, Laci on piano and Roman Marie on drums help me bid a fond farewell to Jon singing the uptempo number I wrote especially for him: The Music Man

 The Voices on the Hill Community Choir
 The Dial Up's first ever choir! 
 Singing Drift Away, Yesteryou, Yesterme, Yesterday and Love Train, they were spot on theme
