The young musicians at Spalding Music Centre were excited for their first Creative Journeys session this week. Raph really enjoyed leading our first session joining the young people in their usual meeting place, the amazing Methodist Church - the harmonies sounded wonderful!

We were in Spalding last week making a start on a new project 'Creating Journeys'. We met with the teachers of young people who attend the Spaulding Music Centre and people from sheltered housing communities to plan sessions that will take place between the groups in May.
