23.01.2022 The Live at Lunch concert was scheduled for yesterday with flutist Jane Rutter and guitarist Giuseppe Zangari. But the show must go on so Jane and Giuseppe played anyway - but without an audience. Dont worry, weve filmed the whole thing, just give us a bit of time for post-production, then well go live next week on Janes YouTube channel.

With loneliness and stress levels going up, a bit of meditation is exactly what the doctor ordered. Breath in, breath out and relax.
