Loft’s Music Shed run a selection of young singer songwriter workshops, clubs and courses for creative, imaginative and talented young people in the South West.
From Loft's Music Shed, esteemed musician Laura Loft runs a very popular club at Exeter Phoenix for young music makers who want to be songwriters.
From this group, Rebecca, Ebby, Jamie, Holly, Polly and Daisy looked in to entertain us today.
And - with Laura - a wonderful sound they all made.

The ensemble began with two well rehearsed covers, Little Talks and Oh Hey.

Holly and Polly (Blue Moon) sang and played their own composition Ashes
and Jamie gave us his self-penned song The Crime You Didn't Do.
Laura completed the entertainment with her song I Had A Plan.

Wonderful!! Thank you very much to all the singers and musicians.
