Feels Like Home Anthem

Working with: Feels Like Home, Barnsley Museums

“Music is so important for everybody because it makes you happy, it gives you power, it makes you calm.” Chenar – a workshop participant

I ran series of music-making workshops with the Feels Like Home group in Barnsley, a 50 strong group involving people from 15 different countries. The aim was to get them creating music together whatever their background. It was a real mix of personalities, cultures, and ages. After the week was over we ended up with an amazing, uplifting Feels Like Home anthem. All of the music, lyrics, playing, and singing are by the participants. The ideas for the music video also came from the group.

Have a look at the music video and the mini documentary below!

“Just the change in people that I’ve seen during the workshops, they come in quite quiet maybe feeling a bit reserved and have just finished the sessions feeling full of confidence, feeling more connected with people and also feeling really proud of being able to achieve and produce something so incredible.” Joanna – Feels Like Home group coordinator
