Learn to communicate with your baby before they can speak, at an award-winning TinyTalk baby signing class. What can you expect at a TinyTalk class? Weekly themes such as bedtime, family or a trip to the park give you the signs you need to share baby’s world and daily routine, using British Sign Language (BSL) signs An interactive music class featuring well-known nursery rhymes, action songs, specially composed music and instruments Hands-on sensory activities delight your baby and develop all-round communication skills such as vocalising, listening and taking turns. They also stimulate your baby’s senses, encourage their tracking skills and develop their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills Time to relax with a cuppa and make new friends whilst your baby enjoys social playtime TinyTalk classes are run in blocks of 12 weeks, though you can often start at any time (subject to space). Each block covers the most important 50 core signs which we know will make a huge difference. Our classes do not repeat across a year and, as babies' interests develop, so many families choose to return time after time. We cover 150 signs in all, and give you plenty of tips and tricks for encouraging your baby to sign back.

Otis Gibbs is a songwriter, storyteller, painter, photographer, and planter of 7,176 trees. He once wrestled a bear and lost. He's been called the best unknown songwriter in music today, but if you ask him, hell just say he's a folksinger. The Trust Of Crows, his tenth studio album, was recorded at the iconic Columbia Studio A in Nashville, where Bob Dylan made Blonde on Blonde and Nashville Skyline. It's been closed to the public for decades, but Otis was given permission to record there. Gibbs storytelling extends beyond music to his YouTube channel, where more than 100,000 subscribers listen to tales and folklore passed down by legendary musicians. In an effort to preserve these personal stories before theyre lost to history, he single handedly built a living archive in the spirit of The Lomax Family, Studs Terkel or even Charles Kuralt. This deeply personal project reflects Otis reverence for history, lived experience, and the characters who shaped American roots music from the ground up. Gibbs has been likened to everyone from Guthrie to Springsteen but his is the rare voice that stands on its own ESQUIRE Gibbs songwriting is deeply personal and profound. It's plain to see Otis Gibbs is a man you should give a damn about ROLLING STONE Man, can this singer tell a story USA TODAY Back when Greg Brice played the pubs, clubs and bars of the West Midlands he'd often find some of the toughest audiences you could imagine hanging on his every word within a few bars. His intricate fingerstyle guitar and strident electric slide connected in the raw and immediate way that only proper roots music can. And that voice clear as a bell, powerful and pure. 'a virtuoso guitarist who sings like Lowell George, you're gonna like him' ANDY KERSHAW
