I am just back from a wonderful trip to South Africa where I was performing in the fantastic children's show The Farmer's Cheese. This show has music composed by Oliver Searle, especially for children who wear cochlear ear implants. We have been performing the show on/off for over a year around the UK but this was our first excursion overseas. The show is funded by Med-el, a company who produce these implants, and in South Africa we performed the show for children, many of whom were cochlear users.
The show was fantastically popular with the kids. They really responded well to the music and loved the silly antics from the two performers, Clare McGarry and Martin O' Connor. We even had to sign some books at the end of one performance which made me feel a bit like a celebrity!
