Looking forward to celebrating this launch with the brilliant @SharedHarmonies - one of the songs in the book was written with our lovely Friday group at @LadybarnCC. Share far and wide - this is a project to be immensely proud of! ❤️

"It's great that you managed to make each of us feel special and sing a little song with us, because so many of us spend so much time alone" - Lovely feedback from a participant in our SoundUp at Ladybarn music group today @LadybarnCC
