For Mental Health Awareness Week we're we’re bringing the joy of music into hospitals, studios and communities across Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, London and Brighton. 🎶
Every week participants are working alongside professional producers, artists and music industry mentors through:
1-1 studio sessions
Open mic nights and performances
Artist development workshops
Peer support and Musicians Wellbeing groups
Songwriting, recording and creative collaboration
Volunteering, training and employment opportunities
Our programmes create safe, trauma-informed spaces where people can build confidence, develop skills, connect with others and focus on recovery through music.
From hospital wards to professional recording studios, our sessions can open doors, reduce isolation and remind people they’re not alone.

This week’s Musicians Wellbeing Session 🎶
Our free weekly online Musicians Wellbeing Session is a relaxed, peer-support space for musicians to check in, connect, and talk openly about mental health and wellbeing — using music as our shared language.
🧠 This week’s theme: The Importance of rest for artists and producers
We’ll explore how rest plays a key role in creativity, energy, and mental health, including:
• pressure to always be creating or releasing
• burnout and creative blocks
• guilt around resting or slowing down
• different pressures for rappers, singers & producers
• how rest supports creativity, focus, and wellbeing
This session isn’t about being more productive or doing things “perfectly.”
It’s about recognising the need for rest, understanding how it affects us as musicians, and creating space to slow down without guilt.

Leigh Patterson or Medley creates music which blurs borderlines between sample-driven instrumental Hip-Hop music and the more experimental side of Contemporary Classical.
His musical influences range from Joanna Newsom to JPEGMAFIA and his first two cassete purchases were Wu-Tang’s Enter The 36 Chambers and Mad Skillz - From Where??? Which feature production from heavyweights J-Dilla and the Rza, none less.
His first memory of music was listening to his Dad play Rock, Funk and Soul vinyl and other times guitar at home and feeling like he wanted to join it too. He would later recall hearing music whist being out with family or friends, as if he was inside a film. This internal soundtrack would follow and keep him hole throughout his boyhood.
Music became centric to his every existence, an extension of himself and a reason to be. In his young adult years, however, he went through several mental episodes in which music was always the requeim. Leigh endured a perioid where he had to stop listening to music with lyrics because he felt he was involved with or was the protagonist of the lyrics and stories he was hearing; he started to hear himself in the words. Overcoming this was tough but gave light to the instrumental picture behind the words and a love for instrumental hip-hop would reign after.

This week’s Musicians Wellbeing Session 🎶
Our free weekly online Musicians Wellbeing Session is a relaxed, peer-support space for musicians to check in, connect, and talk openly about mental health and wellbeing — using music as our shared language.
🧠 This week’s theme: Generational Trauma
We’ll explore how experiences, patterns, and stories passed down through families and communities can show up in music and everyday life, including:
• inherited beliefs and expectations
• emotional patterns and survival responses
• cultural identity and storytelling
• how the past can shape creativity and self-expression
• finding your own voice within what you’ve inherited
This session isn’t about analysing the past or finding quick answers.
It’s about gently recognising what we carry, how it affects us as musicians, and creating space for awareness and expression.
