Music in Hospitals 2014
2014-15 musicinhospitalsscotland.org.uk Concerts in Scottish Health Board areas Music in Hospitals As a registered charity MUSIC IN HOSPITALS enables people of all ages in hospitals, hospices, care homes, day care centres and special schools throughout the United Kingdom to enjoy the often therapeutic benefit of high quality live music. MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 Highland: 160 Grampian: 260 Greater Glasgow & Clyde: 357 Lanarkshire: 65 Tayside: 242 Forth Valley: 81 Fife: 47 Lothian: 422 Borders: 16 Ayrshire & Arran: 88 During the 2014-15 financial year, a total of 4,319 concerts were presented across the UK by groups of talented professional musicians, specially selected at audition for their sensitivity and communication skills. 1,793 of these concerts took place in Scotland. Concerts in Scotland are administered from Music in Hospitals’ Edinburgh office and supported by funds raised in Scotland. In all but a few instances performances are presented by musicians based north of the border. Of the 1,793 concerts given at 614 care units during the year April 2014 to March 2015: • 608 were in hospitals • 970 were in care homes • 59 were in hospices • 156 were in day care centres Dumfries & Galloway: 55 43 of them were first time visits.

Even the staff benefited as it brought a bit of sparkle to the day. Gortanvogie Residential Home, Islay From Scottish Patron Sally Magnusson Scarcely a day passes it seems without some reference in the media to the extraordinary power that music has to reach and soothe people even when they are at their most vulnerable. The current debate about whether or not music should be played during surgery in hospital operating theatres is merely the latest example of this recognition. It was good to see those living with dementia so happy and animated. Clashfarquhar House, Stonehaven September 2015 From Scottish Convenor Gillian Dinsmore MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 The jury may still be out on that particular question, but for people who are no longer able to attend or participate in musical events in the way they once were there is little doubt that Music in Hospitals’ ability to deliver a high quality live performance direct to them in a hospital ward or care home setting is indeed life-enhancing. As ever, we pay tribute both to the dedication of our talented musicians and to the generosity of our many supporters, without which none of it would happen. Someone asked me the other day, ‘Why do people give to Music in Hospitals?’ And then without waiting for an answer he said, ‘They like what it does and they like the people who are doing it.’ The fact that wonderful musicians keep coming to MiH to give their gift of music to vulnerable and ill people and that donors continue their crucial financial support for these performances seems to confirm this for me. A highlight of this past year was undoubtedly the hugely successful Shetland Tour (see page 3) which took place in April thanks to one such longstanding funder, Total E&P UK Limited. And we are delighted to welcome on board those whose support is new to MiH. At a time when charities are not having a particularly good press it is heartening to have confirmation that they like what MiH does and they like the people doing it. September 2015 2 MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND 2014-15 From Chief Executive Alison Frazer MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 It is exhilarating to be able to report a 5% increase in concerts during 2014-15. As ever, our talented musicians have been hard at work bringing the warmth and cheer of a live performance to many thousands of people in healthcare settings across the country. We are tremendously grateful to all those whose support has made this possible. Feed-back from care staff speaks for itself: The effect of live music on our residents’ demeanour and spirits is so incredibly positive, I look forward to the MiH concerts as much as they do! Midlothian Community Hospital, Bonnyrigg One lady who spends most of the day sleeping in her chair appeared to take on a new persona and was sitting as bright as a button, smiling and joining in with the singing. Briery Park, Thornhill Scottish Government support Support from the charitable sector Our major donors have continued to fund numerous projects during the year, and thanks to the generosity of The Robertson Trust and The Imlay Foundation live music has reached many more people in care throughout Scotland. A donation from The William and Patricia Venton Charitable Trust has meant that day centres across the country have been able to benefit, and concerts have taken place at care establishments for ex-service personnel with the help of Poppyscotland. Care units in Aberdeen have been receiving musical visits funded by an Awards for All grant, and people in longterm care in Perth & Kinross have once again received numerous concerts supported by The Gannochy Trust. A further donation from the Queensberry House Trust has ensured that residential and daycare units in Lothian have been included, and Edinburgh & Lothians Health Foundation funding has continued to ensure that people in hospital units across the whole of Lothian have benefited. Other Trusts providing generous support include The Plum Trust, the Hugh & Mary Miller Bequest, The Stafford Trust, the DWT Cargill Fund, and The Martin Charitable Trust. Charlie Gorman with a resident at Overtonlea Home in Shetland We are now in the third year of a three-year Section 16B grant from the Scottish Government which is supporting regular concerts at Scottish mental health units. Anecdotal evidence points to the clear therapeutic benefit that these sessions can have as part of activities programmes across the mental healthcare spectrum. A new development during the past year has been the introduction of regular jamming sessions at The Hive, run by The Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) on the Royal Edinburgh Hospital campus. SAMH Team Leader Nina Allinson commented: ‘Your musicians have been great at engaging with our patients, inspiring and giving them the confidence to participate in our Music Jam.’ 3 Tour of Shetland l to r: David McMartin, Derek Richardson and Charlie Gorman on site and in tune We were thrilled to be able for the first time to send musicians on an extended tour of the Shetland Islands in April thanks to the generous support of Total E&P UK Limited. Ten performances were delivered during the five day visit, reaching audiences at the Gilbert Bain Hospital in Lerwick and at nine other care units including Nordalea in Baltasound, the first ever MiH concert on the UK’s most northerly island of Unst. Also on the agenda was a visit to Total’s gas installation at Laggan Tormore. Support from the corporate sector Soprano Daniela Schuster sings to a couple at the Erskine concert MiH Chief Executive Alison Frazer with ScottishPower Foundation Trustee Ann Loughrey Continued funding from GlaxoSmithKline is enabling people in care across Scotland, as well as around GSK’s Irvine and Montrose sites, to benefit. Two Waitrose stores, Newton Mearns and Byres Road Glasgow, each raised funds through their shoppers’ green token scheme, providing very welcome support for local concerts. Crerar Hotels Trust is funding concerts in the vicinity of its hotels in Scotland and in Yorkshire; a donation from Phoenix International Charity is providing additional concerts at Scottish care units; and once again donations have been forthcoming from ASDA with stores in Edinburgh, Huntly and Peterhead supporting local concerts. ! Tunnock’s Ltd kindly funded another Tunnock’s Tea Party concert in Uddingston, Aggreko donated a concert close to their Dumbarton HQ, and Weslo Housing Management supported a performance for residents of Almondvale Gardens in Blackburn, West Lothian. MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 Thanks to funding from the ScottishPower Foundation, Music in Hospitals is currently providing a series of fifty concerts for people in most need throughout Scotland. The launch concert was at the Erskine Glasgow Home in July. Funding from other sources included Matched Funding from Bank of Scotland Foundation, a donation from the Broughton Spurtle, and further support from Glasgow Airport Flightpath Fund for concerts at care units in the vicinity of the airport. Laura Dancer of MiH receiving the Waitrose donations from Community Matters coordinator Sheena Foster and Patrick Grady MP Total E&P UK Limited is ensuring that live music is reaching people throughout the whole of Scotland, as well as supporting its traditional Christmas series in and around Aberdeen; Cairn Energy is helping to provide concerts specifically for people with dementia; SSE is supporting performances in Perthshire and in the Borders; and ConocoPhillips is continuing to fund concerts in Aberdeen city and county. Ongoing pro-bono support of our website management system from Ezone Software continues to be hugely appreciated. We would like to thank ConocoPhillips and tell them what a difference they made to our residents. Thank you so much for the concert SSE. Our residents came together when singing in a group and it was so lovely to hear and watch. Woodside Care Home, Aberdeen Queensberry House, Sanquhar 4 Audiences which have experienced a live performance during the past year include: MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 children with acute, chronic or life-limiting illnesses, or additional support needs people with mental health issues The past twelve months has seen a 12% increase in the number of concerts within mental health wards across Scotland, thanks in part to continued funding by the Scottish Government and The Pixel Fund of live performances in these settings. The positive impact that regular live music delivered by skilled and sensitive musicians can have on people who may be experiencing feelings of anxiety, isolation and alienation, is frequently reported upon by healthcare staff. And although a wide range of different performers and musical genres can be provided, where possible and appropriate musicians will make return visits to certain units so that a rapport with clients based on friendship and trust can be developed. Musical performances in paediatric wards and play areas can immediately brighten the mood of anxious children and parents alike, and thanks to The MacLennan Trust more have been made possible. These sessions are always challenging but MiH musicians are skilled in the special techniques required to distract and divert young audiences and carefully planned programmes will include interactive songs and musical games as well as contemporary pop items in order to appeal as much to teenagers as to toddlers. Currently, for children of all ages, the ability to deliver a favourite track from ‘Frozen’ or the latest Taylor Swift hit appears to be a must! 48 concerts in paediatric units and special schools It is amazing to see how live music lifts the spirits of even children who are very ill. Their parents seem to relax for a few minutes whilst the music is playing, and there is a definite reduction in anxiety levels for every age group. Play worker at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy 278 concerts in mental health wards David Hood enjoying an exchange with a young musician at Rachel House, Kinross Accordionist Alan Small does a spot of dancing with service users at Dalgairn Centre in Cupar adults with additional support needs Care staff at adult resource centres which cater specifically for people with additional support needs positively welcome the opportunity to host MiH live music sessions in which their clients generally participate with great enthusiasm. The special blend of experience, sensitivity and resilience which the musicians bring to these performances is ideally suited to such audiences and programmes are carefully compiled both to stimulate and to soothe as the collective mood dictates. 45 concerts in learning disability units and adult resource centres The patient group have many complex issues such as learning disabilities, autism, and challenging behaviour, but the musicians interacted with everyone and were completely unfazed by their issues. During the concert there was lots of whooping and cheering! Loch View, Larbert 5 There was a happy, relaxed atmosphere in the room throughout the concert and the patients benefited from the time spent away from the ward in such a positive atmosphere. Hairmyres Hospital, East Kilbride people with neurological conditions The beneficial effect of live music on people who have had a severe stroke is widely recognised. But while medical professionals can provide a clinical explanation, time and again relatives and care staff remark upon what seems like a miracle when someone who has lost the power of speech is suddenly able to mouth the words of a familiar song. But whatever the cause it can provide a huge boost to morale for all concerned and we have even heard of nursing staff who have been made aware of this phenomenon conversing in song with their patients! Similarly those people whose motor skills have been affected can derive therapeutic benefit from being encouraged to clap or tap in time to the music. Support from The R S Macdonald Charitable Trust helped ensure that people with a range of neurological conditions benefited from MiH concerts. There is increasing recognition of the therapeutic benefit that individuals with these conditions or with a brain injury can derive from the performance of live music. A shortened attention span is frequently apparent among audience members in neurological units and musicians must be well versed in the techniques required to stimulate interest as well as to soothe and distract. A wide ranging repertoire embracing musical tastes across the generations is also essential. 30 concerts in neurological units 25 concerts for people recovering from strokes Their repertoire was varied and appropriate and the residents remained responsive and alert throughout. The singers interacted well with their audience and an enjoyable evening was had by all. It was very good to see some of the members who have short-term memory singing all the words of the songs. Bandrum Nursing Home, Saline 57 concerts in hospices 1,310 concerts in continuing care units One gentleman in particular was able to ‘open up’ more, and tell us about his memories, associated with music. Live music has an incredible effect on our residents, leading to prolonged engagement with staff, other residents, and visitors. Strathcarron Hospice, Denny Midlothian Community Hospital, Bonnyrigg frail elderly people in long-term care Around 70% of MiH concerts are presented in residential or day care Barmulloch Stroke Group, centres across Scotland, Glasgow or in continuing care hospital wards. These audiences will include some people who people receiving require nursing care respite or palliative purely because of A patient claps along with folk performers Gregor Lowry and Kirsten Easdale at Royal Victoria Hospital, Dundee age-related physical care in hospices difficulties, while for Funding for performances at one of Scotland’s hospice units is always greatly others varying degrees appreciated, particularly as many of them are themselves dependent upon Derek Richardson enjoys a joke with residents at Overtonlea Home in Shetland of dementia will have charitable giving. In tune with the hospice movement’s own philosophy of deprived them of the ability to lead independent lives. For some the sense enriching the life of each day, a concert can provide an opportunity for a warm of helplessness and confusion they may feel can be lifted in an instant by the and comforting social occasion for patients, family members and care staff to sound of a familiar melody or the words of a much loved song, which trigger experience together, while the musicians too are inspired and uplifted by the transformative power of live music within the supportive hospice setting. reminiscences of happy times past. MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 individuals who have experienced a stroke 6 communicating through live music MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 The musicians 7 The musicians who present concerts in healthcare settings are all talented professionals with their own busy performance and teaching schedules, who have been carefully selected at audition as much for their ability to communicate with sensitivity as for their musical prowess. Music in Hospitals is extremely fortunate to be able to call upon so many experienced performers, some of whom in turn help to mentor those who are new to the work. The programmes Where possible there is consultation in advance with care staff to ensure that programmes are age appropriate. Ideally service users’ preferences and any special requests will be passed on to the concerts team so that they too can be taken into account. Flexibility is definitely the name of the game, and while classical performers must be comfortable delivering Scots traditional and show songs, folk groups might well find themselves responding to a request for a classical theme. Residents and staff play along with ukelele player Pete Baynes at Tor Christian Nursing Home Staff participation It is clear from the feedback we receive from all sources that maximum benefit can be felt by patients and residents when healthcare staff get actively involved. The performers always encourage people to sing along and to dance and, even where some individuals in the audience are too frail to respond physically, they can derive great pleasure from seeing members of staff taking to the floor. We greatly appreciate the support that care staff provide both before and during the concerts, Violinist Paul Livingston strikes up with Auld Lang Syne for everyone at Laverock House, Edinburgh and it is always encouraging to hear from them of the hugely positive effect Tribute to Andy that music can have on the people in their care. We were very sad to hear of the death in August of one of our musicians of long The Perfect Present standing, Andy Fraser. From first joining Diverse tastes across most musical Music in Hospitals in the year 2000, Andy genres can be catered for from gave over 350 performances working with among our pool of performers, several different singers and instrumentalists and special programmes can be along the way, in particular pianist Andrew devised to mark particular occasions.

It was always a treat to listen to Numerous Burns, Hallowe’en, and his fine tenor voice, and from the feedback Christmas programmes are presented each reports that we received from care staff after year, but bespoke performances to mark the concerts it was clear that he brought special occasions of individual significance can a great deal be arranged also through our Perfect Present of pleasure to option. On several occasions during the past audiences in year a programme has been tailor-made for hospitals and care an individual and enjoyed along with family establishments members and friends, as well as fellow residents all over Scotland. and care staff. It is very simple for the donor or Our thoughts are donors to arrange. All it takes is: with Andy’s wife one phone call (0131 556 5848), and children at one cheque (a minimum donation of £150) this very sad time. and the concerts team will do the rest! the musicians’ perspective After the formal session, some well-earned refreshments were served and before long the party was in full swing! A lady said to me, ‘You certainly brought happiness to our home this afternoon’, and her saying that made me have to fight off a wee tear. Fiddler Kate Badcock Soprano Alexandra Baer at St Margaret’s Hospice, Clydebank On 8th May we performed a special VE Day programme, all songs of the 1940s. The audience included a former RAF pilot and a lady who had spent the war years at Bletchley Park. There was a great deal of reminiscing and they all remarked how the music brought back so many memories. The two minute silence at 3.00 pm was very moving and the show finished off with a lovely Hokey Cokey. Tenor Jim McJannet at Lilyburn Care Home, Milton of Campsie One of the highlights was playing guitar while an audience member serenaded a blushing member of staff with ‘Love me Tender’! Singer/guitarist Neil Sturgeon at Leverndale Hospital Bass Ian Macgregor at Canniesburn Care Home, Bearsden We met a lady in Inverness who told us that her mother knew Scott Skinner as a child and often sat in the corner while he was composing. She wondered aloud if he might have written a tune for her mother, and if so which one it might have been. We love that amazing connection to the past and now often include this anecdote in our set when we play a Scott Skinner tune. One gentleman was so into the music that he was conducting me and the beam across his face as he held his wife’s hand and sang every song to her was something really special to see. A family member of one of the residents told me she was choked with tears at the difference the music made to her mum. She felt she had lost her until she saw her singing songs perfectly. MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 New recruits to MiH in 2015 included (left to right): Isbel Pendlebury, Jevgenia Motsalova, and Linda Gibson As ever we owe a huge debt of gratitude to our amazing musicians whose dedication and commitment inspire us all on a daily basis. We were delighted to welcome around thirty of them to a musicians’ forum in Edinburgh in early August to share experiences and exchange ideas. Their collective wisdom, garnered over literally thousands of concerts among them, produced a veritable mine of useful tips and advice for new recruits which will be of huge value in enhancing the mentoring process. Accordionist Marian Anderson One little girl sang ‘Incy Wincy Spider’, her favourite nursery song, and Matthew added to the fun inventing crocodile noises on his trumpet! Soprano Rosanne Brackenridge at Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital Special thanks to all those musicians who contributed in other ways: Marian Anderson, Patricia Ball, Rosanne Brackenridge, Barbara Brodie, Matthew Brown, Gus Carmichael, Sarah Cruickshank, John Davidson, Margaret Donaldson, Charlie Gorman, Rachel Hair, Margaret Knight, Jennifer Logan, Anna-Mary Lynch, David Mackie, David McMartin, Isabel Paterson, Derek Richardson, John Sampson, Diana Saunderson, Daniela Schuster, Jennifer Stephenson, Billy Strachan, Jason Sweeney and George Talmaciu. 8 raising funds ~ and awareness MUSIC IN HOSPITALS SCOTLAND · 2014-15 Highland hospitality The Gordon Highlanders’ Museum provided an inspiring setting for our Aberdeen reception last November to which we welcomed some of our north east supporters as well as representatives from the healthcare sector. MiH harpist Margaret Knight, who has presented numerous performances in and around Aberdeen over many years, gave a lively demonstration of how she goes about her work. USSO raises the roof for MiH The Universities of Scotland Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Copland, Elgar and Shostakovich attracted a large audience to St Cuthbert’s Church in May, raising further funds for Music in Hospitals. MiH greatly values its association with USSO and our warmest thanks go to all of the musicians and especially to conductor Chris Swaffer. l to r: Deputy Lord Provost of Aberdeen John Reynolds, Margaret Knight, and Senior Communication Adviser at Total E&P UK Limited Sandra Maclennan Pink Fizz IV More sparkles were produced by Committee members Jennifer Logan contralto and Margaret Donaldson piano when they presented another highly entertaining Pink Fizz programme, this time in the stunning ballroom of Murrayfield House courtesy of Home Manager Mrs Mandy Cooper.

It was good to be able to thank longstanding supporters in person, and to introduce others to our musicians’ work. It was an opportunity also to launch a new funding initiative corporate partners: bespoke concerts which encourages firms to fund a tailor-made concert at a hospital or care unit of their choosing. The Arunda Wind Trio served up the live music! FRIENDS’ MONTHLY DRAW Once again warmest thanks are due to the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and its Chief Executive Dr Krishna Thiagarajan for very kindly providing tickets each month during the season for whichever MiH Friend is lucky enough to have his or her name drawn out of the hat. Particularly appreciated is the flexibility which allows the winner to choose which of Scotland’s concert halls is the most convenient in which to enjoy a RSNO performance. 9 A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY: Thursday 26 November An evening at The Merchants’ House of Glasgow Join us for a reception and concert featuring soprano Daniela Schuster, ‘cellist Marie Holmes and pianist Stephen Adam of TRIO VOCALISE, along with violinist Paul Livingston and classical guitarist Ian Watt.

Contralto Diana Randolph and pianist Gus Carmichael reprised the musical glitz, this time joined by baritone James Dinsmore pictured below with some of the guests. Also… In commemoration of the Bay City Rollers’ first visit to the United States forty years ago, dedicated fans in Philadelphia held a celebratory event in aid of Music in Hospitals Scotland. The event included an auction of items donated by original band members Eric, Woody and Alan, and a Skype session with lead singer Les McKeown - raising an incredible $500! Christmas carols, seasonal classics, and a festive afternoon tea greeted shoppers at Glasgow’s Western Club, at the instigation of longstanding supporter and MiH Friend Katharine Liston. Funds sufficient to support several hospital concerts were raised. Opera Camerata’s musical as well as culinary endeavours provided enough to fund an MiH concert through a bake sale held during one of their rehearsal evenings. David Hood entertained children, parents and staff before the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen at the opening of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. It was a thrill to feature on BBC Radio airwaves earlier this year when MiH Vice President Katie Derham presented the Radio 4 Appeal on behalf of the charity. Warmest thanks to all those listeners who tuned in to the programme and sent generous donations. The Aberdeen Musical Medics’ Society and Aberdeen Medics’ A Capella Society (above) once again put on a charity Christmas concert in December in aid of Music in Hospitals and Marrow Aberdeen. Their donation to MiH supported a concert at Woodend Hospital in the spring. Music pupils at George Heriot’s School supported an MiH concert at The Elms Care Home in Edinburgh from funds raised at last year’s leavers’ concert. Lizzie Wells (top), a former pupil of the school and one of the event organisers, had been involved with Music in Hospitals through the YPI scheme and through a week of work experience with us at Forth Street.

But before leaving she did a splendid job in organising the Shetland tour, her local knowledge as a native Shetlander proving invaluable as she compiled a remarkable itinerary for the tour in which not a single detail relating to travel, accommodation, restaurants and parking was left un-researched. We wish her well in her new venture. In place of Hannah on the concerts team we welcomed Kirstyn Knowles, a music graduate who previously worked for the mental health charity Penumbra. Like Hannah her main responsibility is tour organisation and five months in she already has 33 successful tours under her belt. Thank you As ever we are indebted to our UK Chairman, Hon Treasurer, Trustees, Committee members, Local Ambassadors and volunteers, for all they do for Music in Hospitals – none more so than our indefatigable Scottish Convenor, Gillian Dinsmore. Warmest thanks to all of them from everyone on the Forth Street team. September 2015 Our patients’ outlook on life is always improved by the concerts.
