As part of our youth music funded project Pebbles in Ponds the children have been working with musicians Liam Robinson and Gary Hammond to create a song telling the world how much they love the place that they live in.
For the last 9 weeks Gary Hammond and Liam Robinson have been causing musical noise and chaos as Brookenby Youth Club in Lincolnshire. Along with a group of dedicated and enthusiastic youngsters, Gary and Liam have been working with the group to create their own song about their community with a rhythmic and high volume drum accompaniment!
Last week saw the end of our Pebbles in Ponds project in Sudbury. There were two performances for parents and public, one at the school and another at the Museum of Childhood.
The children created a musical about the enchantment of Sudbury Pond and let their imaginations run wild, literally!
Friday the 29th of June saw the start of the next phase in our Pebbles in Ponds project.
Dave "Stickman" Higgins and Ricky Thomas-Martinez, along with Michael Wetherburn, invaded Sudbury Primary School for the first in a series of visits working with the school and local community.
The session started after lunch with a song and artists and participants continued to make music for the rest of the afternoon. After warm ups and lots of laughter by the end of the afternoon the children had composed their first song.
Check back for updates on the workshops and possibly some video and audio clips later.
