From Southend Mencap to the Philippines!

07/01/21 • 77 min

This month's highlights from The Music Man Project Radio Show on Chelmsford Community Radio, bringing you news from the Southend Mencap Achievers Awards, some great interviews with the remarkable students of The Music Man Project in Essex and a special look back at the launch of The Music Man Project in the Philippines.
We hear a heart-warming tribute from Terry to his beloved father, who adopted him when he was in a children's home. Terry was placed there to escape from his abusive biological father.
We also meet MMP Essex student Katie and hear from her two crazy carers, Debbie and Tracey, who describe their approach to caring for someone with complex needs. And we finally catch up with three MMP UK superstars for a quick chat too!
The Music Man Project is a multi award-winning, world record-breaking music education and performance service for people with disabilities - direct from the Royal Albert Hall! It started in Essex but has spread right across the globe!

Natalie's research can be read in full here: Academic Research | The Music Man Project UK.
We also pay to tribute to the late violinist Lorraine Kelly, who sadly passed away from Cancer in 2018. Lorraine was a wonderful supporter of The Music Man Project, and our Royal Albert Hall orchestra was formed in her memory.
