Mrs H Sings | From the Top of the Tower | for children up to 9 years old and their adults

Mrs H Sings is a much loved, award-winning act for children that brings music and joy to communities up and down the country. With the use of puppetry, song, dance and interactive mischief, the six-piece band will take families on a light hearted, life affirming show celebrating the simple act of helping one another.
Inspiration for these shows have been taken from articles from the late Victorian Union Chapel Magazine that featured a fictional clock character in the Union Chapel tower that passes comment on the life and times going on below and all around, including inside the church itself.
