Tonic Music are proud to be able to take Terry Hall's Piano 'On Tour' with the first outing at the Tim Burgess, Merch Market in Manchester.
The Tonic Music team will be showcasing the piano of our founding Patron, Terry Hall for the first time in The Tunnel of Love on Sunday 25 May at Tim Burgess' Merch Market in Manchester.
“So many amazing things are happening at The Merch Market - the fact that Tonic Music are bringing Terry Hall’s piano is one of my favourite parts of what’s going on”.

Full information can be found on The Merch Market Website.
The piano was kindly donated to Tonic Music by Terry's family for people to play and enjoy. Terry was a firm believer in the power of music to help aid mental health recovery stating:
“Music can pave the path to light even in the darkest of places”.
