I have worked for a number of community / youth music projects. I am particularly interested in projects that are targeted at young people who don't have access to creative musical activities. I am currently working on a project exclusively for learning disabled musicians which has been very rewarding and inspirational.
Below are some links to organisations I have worked for / continue to work for. I am always looking to develop my experience in this field of work. Please contact me if you would like assistance with a youth / community music project.

Carousel is a learning disability arts charity. I work for the charity as a band producer, facilitating music projects.
Here is a short film about The Dancing Rock Queens a band I work with as part of the Carousel music project.
I worked for several years on a choir project called The Carousel singers. The choir would explore writing and performing their own original music. This is a spooky song called Creepy Sneaky!
In collaboration with Carousel and Drake music I facilitated sessions enabling learning disabled musician Louis Walkden to create the song Magpie.
Current Carousel projects include working with a Learning disabled band called The Carousel House Band
