Last week I got a last minute call to play Guitar 1 for Shrek The Musical with Cheltenham Girls’ High School — their first musical production in 21 years.

What an absolute joy it was. The guitar book was a fun challenge, full of great moments, and the students brought so much energy and heart to every rehearsal and performance.

One of the best parts of these experiences is being able to mentor young musicians along the way. Watching students grow in confidence, step up musically, and bring a show to life is always incredibly rewarding.

Huge congratulations to everyone involved for creating something so special. I had an absolute ball being part of it.
