February Earworms
We're looking forward to February's event tomorrow.
Harpe Noire are joining us and have prepared a wonderfully varied
programme - there's certainly something for everyone from Star Wars to The Swan, with all the usual fun from Mervyn. The two harpists, Liz Grier and Emma Graham are very experienced both as wonderful performers and presenters, it promises to be another lovely concert.
If you have time to come along a little early, there are lots of other activities taking place tomorrow as part of the Northcott's family funday, the cafe will be open too for the usual delicious cakes and coffee.
We've just taken delivery of our new Earworms T shirts - if your own little Earworm would like one, we'll be taking orders tomorrow.
We hope to see you there!

Can a harp sound like Dr Who's Tardis?
Hello, Earworms! It's Emma from the Earworms team, here. Do you mind me calling you 'Earworms'?
I'm really excited about our next performance by Harpe Noire. When we first started talking about our new family concert series, we had the harp in mind as one of those instruments people think they know, but don't very often have the chance to hear and see live and up close. One of the lovely aspects of Earworms is the range of music and instruments you discover. You'd be hard pressed to come up with a sound more different to last month's Devon Youth Jazz Orchestra. We aim to tickle your ears in as many different ways as there are sounds in the world.
Harpe Noire come from a world of harps that reaches way beyond the 'pretty women in lovely frocks' that we all imagine.
And yes, there is a world of harps. Did you know that the harp is the Paraguayan national instrument? Many different cultures have a harp in their midst, and Harpe Noire will transport us musically from England to Ireland, over the sea to the USA for a bit of jazz (not so far from DYJO, then), via Paraguay to Japan, back to Europe, all within an hour and possibly including a star turn from a famous mystery guest harpist, some sausages and a bit of tin foil.
If you don't know the answer to the Tardis question above, neither do I. Like me, you'll have to come to the Northcott Theatre, Exeter, at 2pm on Sunday 16th Feb to find out. See you there!

Earworms, January 19th 2014
What a fantastic launch to our new series at Exeter Northcott - we were thrilled with the turnout and with the wonderful young musicians from DYJO.
A very big thank you to all who came - the atmosphere in the theatre was fantastic and the children seemed to be having a great time. We hope those of you who came for the first time enjoyed yourselves, we were also really pleased to see so many familiar faces from our previous Exeter Phoenix events.
Thank you as ever to Mervyn for his wonderful presentation. Thank you to Brian Moore and all at DYJO, and to the Northcott for making us feel so welcome.
Tickets are on sale for the rest of the series - we're looking forward to welcoming a duo of Harps for February 16th.
