Music Creates Community

Blog

Everything we do includes some element of collaboration, this includes all the activities under the ‘Projects’ topic. Everything in the ‘Communities’ header is work organised by the communities, individuals and organisations we work with, sometimes we’ve played a small role, and sometimes we’re just there for a day out.

There will usually be links to their web pages and social media, please support and follow them.
