Here We Are - The Pathhead Choir Songwriting Project
This series looks at the thoughts, feelings and experiences of participants involved in The Pathhead Choir Songwriting Project HERE WE ARE, a project in collaboration with creative ageing organisation Autumn Voices, funded by Creative Scotland and a grant from The Hope Scott Trust.
Singer and songwriter Sophie Bancroft guided a group of The Pathhead Choir members aged 60+ to write original songs for The Pathhead Choir to perform. These songs were then arranged and notated for the choir by Pathhead Music Collective musicians and arrangers, and rehearsed and performed by The Pathhead Choir in 3 concerts around the Lothians in 2023.
