00:09 So, hello Kayleigh, so can you tell me a bit more about yourself and why are we here today?
00:14 Hello, so my name's Kayleigh, I am from Little Beats Inverness and TFX Performing Arts Academy.
00:23 We are here today for the launch of our new venue, it's an expansion for us.
00:31 And we're hosting some free taster sessions today, all in aid of the Halo charity.
00:39 Fantastic, and it's so busy today, how many people do you have for the first session today?
00:45 So for the first session we were completely over subscribed, we've got about 15 under 2's and their parents in here today.
00:55 And then for the rest of the people that unfortunately didn't make it, we've offered those people a free taster session as well.
01:01 Just to say thanks for coming down and supporting the cause.
01:05 [Music]
01:17 Amazing, and can you tell me a bit more about the partnership between TFX and Halo?
01:21 So with TFX, we have been supporting Halo for quite a long time.
01:26 Over Christmas we held a grotto here and all the proceeds from that went towards Halo and that cheque's been handed over to them today.
01:36 So yeah, we've kind of been working with each other for a little while now and we just think it's a really, really good cause.
01:43 And we have a fantastic choir singing upstairs for the other set of things today.
01:50 How does it work in terms of having a bit of dancing, performing arts and singing?
01:56 Yeah, it's really good. So we've got some taster sessions in here for various age ranges.
02:03 Some with parents and some without parents, but then later on, on the stage here, TFX has got some of their students performing there as well.
02:11 So we get to do some performances too. So a very exciting day.
02:15 It is indeed. And with this space, what are you planning to do? What's the aim of it?
02:20 And having a presence in the space, like, gives you a bunch more visibility?
02:24 Oh, absolutely. We have had some tremendous artwork done by a local graffiti artist.
02:31 So the space inside is amazing. It's bright, it's airy and as you say, really good visibility to the public.
02:38 We're going to be putting on classes here almost every single day of the week.
02:42 So just kind of have a look on our website and get in touch so you can see something that suits you.
