This was so moving. Spontaneously stopped off at the London Bridge station organ to play a couple of pieces for the Queen. This lovely security guard, Marcella, asked if I could play Lascia ch'io pianga. Turns out she trained as a singer! ❤️😭

Hi, I play Hermione and I’d really like to invite A’niah to come and watch Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Can you get in touch please x
📚 What if you were told you couldn't play your favourite character because of the colour of your skin?
9 year old A'niah has set up a weekly book club at school to teach fellow pupils about black history after experiencing racism.
