Keep The Music Flowing
YO Songsters @ Folkestone Songwriting Festival
Do you want to champion music and dementia?
​
Musical Walkabout's YO Songsters music group is an exciting collaboration of people living with a young onset dementia diagnosis, people in caregiving roles, health and social care professionals and music practitioners. We meet regularly to explore how music can bring joy and support wellbeing.​
​
We are absolutely honoured to be supporting Michele Stodart as she opens this year's Folkestone Songwriting Festival with a concert at St Eanswythe's church on October 6th 2022. We'll be performing original material, and inviting you to celebrate this with us!
​
Please come and support YO Songsters, help us raise awareness about dementia and using music for wellbeing, and enjoy the amazing music we've been making together.
​
Come on a Musical Walkabout!
