Mike will be joined by two local teachers Ellie Johnson and Andy Mersh, exploring journeys and connections.

Jenny Lozano, Hastings Thrives Project Manager, said: "If you've ever wanted to try writing a song, then we're here to help. Our teachers work collaboratively to produce a song, and you will be part of it.

"We welcome all abilities and because we work collaboratively, everyone can bring something to a song whether lyrics, music, direction. Just having a line in the song and working with others, builds friendships, pride and confidence. "

There also the opportunity for 11 to 16 years who are neurodivergent to have some extra 1:2:1 support before the sessions.

The sessions will be held at the British Tea Museum in the Old Town, from 3 - 5pm, Monday February 13 to Thursday February 16.
