Great to sit down with George Ezra in Hertford this week to chat about his exciting new project, Hertford Quarter, and all the positive things happening in our town!
Fantastic to hear how he wants to highlight the many extraordinary people in our community.

This #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, I raised in the House of Commons the challenges young people in Hertford and Stortford face in accessing mental health support and asked for an update on the positive steps this government is taking to improve it.

Enjoyed this last night, & there are tickets available for 3 more shows this weekend in #Hertford. A good way of getting away from the gloomy weather, & there’s even a sing-along!
It’s good to have something to look forward to in January, & there’s the HD&OS traditional pantomime still to come in #Hertford, 16-19 January. Tickets here:

For me one of the loveliest about Christmas is that the noise of the world is still for just a few days and we can focus on the things that really matter - family and friends, and for me, music, because music is what binds us all together. JR
