HI GUYS Some will know that during the first lockdown, I started writing a book. Finally, it is ready for the world. It is available NOW in paperback and for Kindle. I am scared and excited, in that order. Get involved here: amzn.eu/d/g890fQ9 Thank you xx
Front cover for a new book, titled What I Talk About When I Talk About Non-League Football: The trials, tribulations and tipsiness of the ten–year life of a football club called Gresley. Features a stylised football pitch with cartoonish images of a cup of Bovril, a roadsign for Leek, a urinal, an umbrella and a bottle of WKD.

🎶 We love this clip of Bridget and our music therapist John making music Bridget has been attending weekly group sessions, which have helped calm her tremors & lift her mood Bridget says the sessions have given her "a new lease of life and I can thoroughly recommend it” 💜

Our thank you #LordClementJones for bringing this issue and question to the house that @bamt and we discussed with him and colleagues. Safe to say we @nordoffrobbins agree

We agree with Lord Clement-Jones, on access to music therapy through social prescribing for dementia patients. 'music education must be a much more mainstream part of primary and secondary school education’

Pre-Covid, we held a lunchtime choir for the @NELFT Memory Service staff led by music therapist @johnwallisMT. When we moved our music therapy services online, the choir moved online too. The the online singing group was a great way to offer a social and musical gathering.

We know singing can be a lifeline for a lot of people and can be good for your #mentalhealth. Our online choir welcomes everyone of all abilities from around the world. Here some of the members singing Let It Be #WorldMentalHealthDay #MakingMusicMatters

Nordoff Robbins online choir - Let It Be

We had to temporarily stop our community choir due to corona but knew that singing could be a lifeline for a lot of people. So, we took it online.

#MyAlbumEscape is OK Computer by @radiohead. During lockdown the themes of alienation & the atmosphere of the whole album seemed very apt. Despite the complexity of some of the production it still sounds like a band playing in a room. @AlbumDayUK
