These are songs from Musical Connections 'songwriting sessions' that i run as part of my job as a Music support worker for Sound It Out.............
I try to organise a songwriting session with members of Musical Connections once a month.In that 2 hours whoever comes along collaborates together in writing one song(words/music) that gets recorded with a live mic onto a mini disc player at the end of the session..Its as simple as that............................. Some of the songs we've created have such a great energy and vibe,i thought they deserved a larger audience than just me sitting with the headphones on my computer...So here they are!.........................
The Musical Connections project was established in 1995 by SOUND IT OUT to provide access to creative music making for isolated people,disabled people and mental health service users. Its aim is to establish a network of people for whom accessing mainstream music activities is difficult........................
Members of the project play live at The Ceol Castle or The M.A.C..We like it..
