A review of news stories from Kirkham Henry in May

Message from former pupil Scott Garnham regardingThe Barricade Boys choir. We asked Scott if we could share this with our supporters especially as Mr. Martin is retiring this summer, he will have wonderful memories of a fantastic evening.

Hi Angela, I just wanted to get in touch and say a massive thank you to everyone at Kirkham Henry who made The Barricade Boys appearance so very special. It was obviously an incredible night for me and something I’ll cherish for a long time but every one of the boys plus our technical team and band commented on how brilliant Kirkham Henry were. Professional, disciplined, friendly and above all really talented!

It’s only when you travel the country touring or producing and see other performing arts schools that realise just how lucky we all are to have a Kirkham Henry in Malton. We can’t wait to come back and we sincerely hope that Kirkham Henry will be able to perform with us again.

From the bottom of my heart… thank you!! Scott xx

Great results are well worth waiting for!

Yes our International Dance teachers association exam results are in and what fabulous results they are. Massive congratulations to everyone after our original date had to be postponed due to the adverse weather.

Everyone did exceptionally well considering the exams were rescheduled for the end of the Easter Holidays. Bigger shout must go out to all pupils who had spent their holiday rehearsing and performing RYT Little Shop of horrors.

Wonderful news from Dom Weatherill

Hi everyone, I'll be graduating from the Drama Centre London (very soon)!

I am lucky to have signed with a brilliant agent, Steven Lewis at Oxford Adams Associates, which is based just behind the Les Mis theatre in the West End. I also signed with a voiceover agency yesterday, called London Voiceover, they have a branch in Manchester too - useful for me!

I'm really enjoying my last few months at Drama Centre and I'm excited about what's to come!

Hope everyone at Kirkham Henry is well! Dom x

Congratulations Dom we wish you all the very best for your future.
