Sunshine Music! We've had lots of fun work with Live Music Now in the past couple months. We spent a very sunny Thursday at Martin House in Wetherby and then at Wheatfields Hospice in Leeds playing music to some lovely folks. Both venues were extremely hospitable and friendly, and we especially loved seeing the therapy dog in action at Wheatfields.
In early March we did a 4 day tour in South Yorkshire in special schools and a day centre. We got some lovely feedback from the day centre - see below:
Just a note to say thank you so much for allowing our group and others to have the wonderful experience of 'Katie's Allsorts Trio' in Hillsborough yesterday afternoon. It was a fantastic performance which was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by everyone who attended. We managed to gather around 40 people including support staff to participate. It soon became a bit of party afternoon with everyone dancing, singing, performing. They had a ball!!!
Could you please pass on our good wishes to the performers who communicated with a natural ability acknowledging the person first before the disability and are hoping that it will not be too far in the distant future before we link in with your Charity once more.
Kindest Regards,
Angela Cockerill & Sue Dimler
King's Mill School 10 Week Residency
Breath control game
Recently, Katie and Aron completed a 10 week residency travelling up to Driffield, East Yorkshire to work with a group at King's Mill School. The group composed their own original composition, 'Sam the Builder' inspired by the construction of a brand new King's Mill School next door (opening April 2016) and took a trip to the recording studio at Driffield School to record the vocals and drums. Katie and Aron made the backing track that the pupils sang along to. Scroll down to hear the song!!
 At the recording studio  The tornado - Ahhhhhh! |  Aron - 'You must sing with your heart!' |
Sam The Builder
 Recording the drums On top of 'Sam the Builder', the pupils also did a live performance of their version of 'Beat it' complete with MJ samples and beats. We also did a variety of games, short songs and musical activities each week. Both Katie and Aron had so much fun working with King's Mill School and are very proud of all of the pupils - well done to all!! | Lyrics Sam the builder, she's the boss Do your best, don't make her cross On the radio, the weatherman said A big storm's coming, straight ahead! Chorus: We've got to build the school on time Can't miss the deadline We've got to build the school on time Can't miss the deadline Working hard to make a dime Can't miss the deadline Sam told the workers, build build build Fast as you can, HURRY UP MAN! The storm is here, just as we fear Thunder and lightening, let's turn it up a gear! Chorus A tornado is coming, straight ahead Smashing through buildings, vehicles and sheds Oh look it's here, right on my head .......AHHHHHHH! Chorus |
