Empowering young people, many with experience of homelessness or mental health issues, to write songs. Funded by @CreativeScots and supported by @WheatleyCare
Enlightening day yesterday celebrating 20 years of YMI 🥳 This vital funding stream has totally transformed the lives of our @WCEnsemble young people 🙏🏻
We had such a wonderful time attending and performing at this celebration 🥳 Lovely to make connections with so many other transformative organisations and practitioners 🙌 Long live YMI - it really has changed the lives of our young people for the better ❤️
That’s a wrap on our celebration of #YMusicMatters for today 🙌
It was wonderful to hear so many #YMIScotland practitioners and musicians sharing their stories.
A huge thank you to our performers and speakers and a reminder that you make music matter, via artist Katie Forbes.
This was a terrific day, and I was quite overwhelmed to think back over what has been achieved in the past 20 years through the #YMIScotland. Extraordinary impact that deserves better recognition, IMO.
@WCEnsemble thanks for a magical evening, what an incredible collection of songs and stories. Big up to everyone involved, what a talented bunch of people 🎉
Incredible music from @WCEnsemble ‘Songs To House Hope’ - co-written with young people in Glasgow with experiences of homelessness or mental health. Link here: https://t.co/AwPm6hKOB5
I’ll be in the house band for this, performing songs I’ve co-written, produced, mixed or just had the life-affirming pleasure of seeing come together at Ensemble workshops.
It’ll be a *lovely* night.
