Barnaby loves to sing. The problem is Barnaby can’t sing, well he can’t yet. His voice is loud and untuneful.  How unfortunate that his year group at school are expected to sing at a very special and important performance. The whole situation is very uncomfortable for him. Luckily, Shelly is on hand to work through the complexities of not being very good at something, an issue we all have to face at one point or another in our lives. Is it ok to be bad at something and still do it? Can we get better at things? How can we play to our natural strengths in life? Listen to find out. 

Highlights include – an epic feel-good choral number, an awkward singing head teacher and parakeet punk band.
