Mind Your Music Workshops

Former Stepping Out Secretary Elliot Hall runs Bristol's leading mental health music group, Mind Your Music. In April 2008 the group was awarded a grant for a three year programme of work from the Big Lottery Fund. and a new series of music workshops is currently being planned. These are an opportunity for people who may or may not have previous musical experience to come together for an afternoon of making music. Workshops are run by Elliot Hall and Ernie Bell. Mind Your Music recently worked with Stepping Out on a special music project at Fromeside Clinic to produce a CD of music with singer songwriter Jonathan Little. They are currently working on a compilation CD of all the music they have produced for Stepping Out productions over the last decade.
