Case Study

The Far Flung Corners project is a partnership with the award winning SoundStorm Music Education Agency and the BA (Hons) Applied Music to devise and deliver workshops in creative music making and song-writing across schools in the UK.

Far Flung Corners

Since 2014, the project has delivered workshops and performed to 4000 young people in schools in Dorset and the Hebrides, providing students with an opportunity to work with professional musicians on a creative musical exchange. The project explores themes of environment in all senses: physical, cultural as well as sustainability, identity and tradition. Far Flung Corners Project was a finalist in the Herald Higher Education Awards 2017 for their community engagement. A highly successful and creative endeavour, in 2017 the project launched a commercial recording at the Celtic Connections Festival and has received excellent reviews and was album of the week on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal.

March 2020 will see the release of the follow up album in Poole’s Lighthouse Theatre.  Thank you to Arts Council England and Soundstorm and Wave who are key funders.
