Click onto the link above to hear highlights from "I can hear music" - with the "Our Town" project, Killyleagh, County Down on the Chris Scott Show, FM105 Down Community Radio!

First broadcast on Wednesday 23rd February 2022 (7 - 8pm).

Join Chris in conversation at The Sir Hans Sloane Centre, Killyleagh with members of the project.

The project began after a successful application to the Assets Recovery Community Scheme for a music-based project for young people with support from the village's community association.

Chris went along to observe the group in action, and ended up joining in!

The "Our Town" project aims to provide a group of young people from Killyleagh with a creative forum in which to come together, express themselves, gain confidence and learn new skills.

Do listen in to the show to appreciate the multitude of talent we have! Chris talks to Neil Foster and Conal Montgomery, the project facilitators, and the other participants - Jamie, Emma, Roberta and Conor. Each week they have been taking part in what is described as music therapy. The group sessions endeavour to explore mental benefits of collective playing whilst fostering creativity.

You can hear some of the collaboration and improvisation during the programme. West African Djembe drums combined with an electric guitar make compelling listening!

There are also individual performances from a number of the talented participants. Not to be missed!

Tune in to the show each Wednesday night (7 - 8pm). The show repeats on Sunday evening (8 - 9 pm). If you are outside the FM signal area you can tune in online at
