Karen's first engagement as MP for Staffordshire Moorlands was to join the enthusiastic audience at All Saints' Church in Leek on Friday 22nd May to hear the Piva band perform "Music and Manners" - Italian renaissance music played on a range of instruments and all in costume too. Karen said: "I didn't realise such a range of instruments existed. Being able to put on a concert like this is something Leek should be proud of. Eric Moulder and his band provided a really unusual and entertaining evening. This event and others in the Arts Festival in Leek are the kind of thing that I want to promote to attract more visitors to the Moorlands." As well as getting the chance to try out the bagpipes Karen had a quick introduction to the hurdy gurdy - which she was assured was a much neglected instrument!
