Lives & Lyrics Project…

Posted on October 11, 2016 1 Comment

Hello all.

Tomorrow I am in the studio recording a track I wrote as part of the ‘Lives & Lyrics’ project here in Derby.

5 songwriters from the county have been put with different social groups, to try and bring their stories to life. I was placed in a young offenders institution with kids between the ages of 14 and 17.

It was quite an eye opening experience and one that I hope I have done justice to.

As part of the project, the 5 songwriters will be performing their tracks for free, to the public.

Below are a list of dates…

Wednesday 22nd November @ The Brewery Tap, Derby, England.

Thursday 23rd November (2:30pm) @ Baby People Studios, Derby, England.

Saturday 26th November (Midday) @ Mackworth Community and Youth Centre, Derby, England.

Wednesday 30th November (4pm) @ The Quad, Derby, England.

If you are around, come say hello and we’ll have a beer!

Lives & Lyrics Project

Posted on September 23, 2016 Leave a Comment

Ayup.

I have spent the last two Fridays in a young offenders institute just outside Derby. I am lucky enough to be involved in a musical project called ‘Lives and Lyrics’.

The idea of the project is to take stories from different areas of society, and put them into song. Other musicians are with different communities across the County. At the end of the project, we will release an album and tour the songs around the local area.

It has been an eye opening experience, and now I need to put pen to paper and do these kids justice.

I will post updates and samples as they come!
