Celebrating Easter with Lorenden
Every quarter, we host a Client Tea & Talk engagement event. It's a bit of social fun for those who might like to join us and for the past couple of years, we have been hosted in Spring and Autumn by the wonderful students of Lorenden School. Our most recent visit in March was another lovely outing!

Welcoming Local Luthier Laurence!
At our Summer Tea & Talk, our quarterly Client Engagement event, we were both delighted and intrigued by a presentation given on the craft of guitar-making.
