We’re grateful for the Arts Council England and Department for Culture, Media and Sport #CultureRecoveryFund which offered us support in the second round. It means we’re still #HereForCulture! We feel incredibly fortunate to have benefited from this scheme.

Nice little private gig in Northamptonshire today! Still time to get tickets for my finals Buxton Fringe gig of the year on 25 July from the Underground Venues website. Small steps, but it’s great to be out and singing again.

Last chance to catch me in Buxton Fringe this year at Underground Venues today. 5:30 show! See you there.

Fantastic to see Selby on the Arts Council England Priority Places list! Congratulations to all involved in making it happen, with a big shout out to @YvetteTurnbull and her team at Selby DC Performing Arts etc loved being part of @selby950 and look forward to seeing what happens next! #Exciting

Today for the first time since before the pandemic Sam Dunkley was in a school, writing a song with brilliant kids! It was a great day and we’re blown away by the work of SelbyCP on our Explore Heart of Yorkshire Selby DC Historic England funded project with Selby Abbey!

Brilliant to be back in a school today with kids writing a song! It’s been a long old road but we’re back up and running. Thanks to @YvetteTurnbull and the team for keeping the faith! If you want to book songwriting sessions for your school or hub, get in touch!

Thank you so much for working with us.

Great to head over to Bradford Music to run some sessions as part of their 8th Annual Music Conference. How brilliant to be back in the room with music educators!

Great to be back working with children and celebrating their place through song! Thanks @SelbyStories - looking forward to the next phase! #singing #songwriting #ks2 a perfect post #SATsWeek activity too!

This was such a great project to be involved in! Listening to my resources come to life and young people becoming mini oral historians with their families 🥰 plus the songs are super catchy!

Brilliant!

A great #selbystories project!

Local school children have used their voices to celebrate what they love about #Selby and the results sound amazing! The young people worked wth Sam Dunkley from Performing Arts etc Listen to the songs here exploreheartofyorkshire.co.uk/things-to-do/s… Selby Stories is funded by @selbyDC and Historic England

A brilliant day today in Selby Abbey for @SelbyStories with our #SingASongOfSelby project! Thanks to all of the schools who took part and to Historic England and Selby DC for funding and supporting the project. What a fantastic event! Great songs! Fab performance!

Great to spend a couple of days helping the @manorceacademy Y7 students get settled in and get to know each other! Confidence and communication through comedy with @PaulBirch5 and body percussion teamwork and confidence with Sam Dunkley - and a lot more besides!

We LOVED this project earlier in the year. Back in Selby Abbey with the fantastic young people of Selby singing their hearts out performing songs they’d written. #musiceduk #primaryrocks #sing

Great to be back at Scarborough College for their Tykes in Tune day leading singing and dancing workshops to the pupils from here and other local schools. #sing #dance #ks2
