The Invisible Thread Doorstep gigs are intimate acoustic performances featuring violin, guitar and song. Devised by Can’t Sit Still, these gigs are made to connect, uplift and celebrate new mums with babies up to 13 months old. The gigs are 15 minutes long and take place on doorsteps, in cul-de-sacs and outside blocks of flats. Families and neighbours are welcome to toe tap along.

​In April 2021 our musicians performed to 107 mothers and babies, with over 100 family members, friends and neighbours also enjoying the sweet harmonies.

To all those who missed us this time - we see you. There's something you might want to watch below.
