Children are welcome at Cottingham Live, both as audience and performers. Our youngest visitor was about 5 weeks old and we have several accomplished young players in the range 7 to 13, including some who write their own tunes - no, they're not precocious pests, but serious musicians starting out.

At a recent half-term several parents brought their children along and parent and child played together- it was unplanned but turned into a good family evening.
