Music and Mental Health
I was watching a documentary about the thriving UK Jazz scene on iPlayer last night and it reminded me of this I wrote a few months ago about the power of music and how it can have a positive effect on mental health.
Matthew Halsall trumpeter and composer talks about the number of people who have got in touch with him to tell him about how his music has personally helped them. Alabaster de Plume (more on him in the article below) talks about being kind to each other and the film shows how the new jazz scene is building positive community links across the county.

Some positive thoughts inspired by Alabaster dePlume
