Sing City is a weekly song writing and performance workshop for young musicians. It’s run by Brighter Sound and is held at Manchester’s iconic Band on the Wall. The young people who take part are mentored and supported by acclaimed local musicians, Natalie McCool, Phil Howley and James Holt, alongside occasional special guest artists who run one off masterclasses. I went along to photograph one such masterclass, hosted by the Beats and Pieces Big Band – a jazz collective, originating from Manchester who hosted Sing City during a month long European tour. Here are some of my favourite images from the night.
