About Us

The Project began at the Marie Curie Hospice in Bradford in 2017 and has since written songs with people all over the country and in a wide range of circumstances surrounding end of life and bereavment. From early stages of a terminal diagnosis to peoples final days, immediatley following a bereavement to several years after.

Participants have reported:

• How proud they are of their songs,

• How happy they are to have a permanent recorded message to their loved ones,

• How it has helped them come to terms with their situation

• How it has helped them articulate and communicates their feelings in a way they may not have otherwise done.

• And how much fun they had during the process.

Every session is facilitated in a relaxed and flexible way providing an enjoyable and rewarding artistic experience for everyone involved. Sessions can be done in person or virtually (During the Corona virus pandemic we are only offering our virtual service).

Every participant receives their song on a cd and has the option of sharing them with the wider public through The Swan Song Project Website.

The Swan Song Project Singing Group takes place on a Thursday evening on Zoom. These sessions are a space for people to relaxe, connect and share the joy of singing.

Jess Baker leads these sessions and teaches a range of beautiful harmony songs. The group is all muted (Due to latency issues with Zoom) so Jess uses a loop pedal to teach the different parts and you can then sing along with whichever part you like the most. These sessions are a realy joy and a great chance to develop your singing if you are nervous about singing in front of others.

They are free to attend and you can register via the eventbrite link on our events page.
