Film of the Ward 5 Newsam Centre album project made by Leeds and York Partnership Foundation Trust. The album 'Sometimes Falling Up' is available to buy now

Sometimes Falling Up

A brand new album of 8 songs written and produced with inpatients of Ward 5, Newsam Centre, Leeds. Over a 12 month project we worked with men who didn't at first think they had anything to offer the creative process, most didn't recognise themselves as creatives or thought they'd ever be able to write a song. 12 months later we had a finished album of songs covering loss, love and escape. This album is a testament to coming through and showing resilience while all the while these men were working towards their recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
