Unity in Music

Working with: Newcastle City Council arts team residency

“The entire [project] can be viewed as up-lifting evidence of how, when we all pull together creatively, we enable social stability and unity and fuel ambition. It is crystal clear: a little bit of music, kindness and love goes a long, long way.” – Beverly Knight, sosallyplays.com

I was chosen to be one of three Musicians in Residence for Newcastle City Council Art Team. The brief was to make something fun, original and unique with as many different communities in Newcastle’s West End as possible. I loved the idea of working with such varied groups in the West End, piecing something new together and helping them all to collaborate. I love a good collaboration and this was a mega collaboration!

The groups created a 20 track album and a music video for the title track “Just Be You” check them out below along with a mini documentary created by Northern Stars Production.
