“Folks and Bairns is my favourite part of the week. There’s something so wonderful about coming together to sing – food for the soul! I always leave feeling brighter after a good old sing song with some lovely parents and their babies. My baby is getting very used to being sung to sleep by a choir
I can’t recommend this highly enough. If you do one thing on parental leave… DO THIS!”
