In May 2024 a group of young people from The Prince's Trust in Manchester took part in 'Making Tracks', formed the band ‘One Day Wonders’ and together wrote and performed a set of songs titled ‘Lost for Words’.

'Making Tracks' is a programme developed by the Irene Taylor Trust to positively engage young people in the community by providing enriching creative opportunities. This project was run in partnership with The Prince’s Trust’s Get Started programme.

The project was supported by Youth Music and the Sheldon Trust

The songs feature young artists:
Adam - Keys, SPD-SX, Beatboxing
Donya Dirande - Vocals
Kai - Drums, SPD’s, Vocals, Bass, Tech

Demira - Guitar, Bass, Keys, Vocals
Lil Trekz - Bass, Guitar, Vocals
Danya - Keys, Vocals, Guitar, Tech
Simone - Bass, Keys, Vocals

They were supported by ITT Musicians: Charles Stuart, Mark Howe and Rob Willson; and Elizabeth J. Birch (Drake Music artist)

HYPNOGOGIC

The Lullaby Project gives mums and dads in challenging circumstances the opportunity to create bespoke lullabies alongside professional musicians, allowing them to explore their thoughts and feelings about their children, enhancing the bond between them by creating something that can be treasured forever.

The Lullaby Project was originally devised by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute in the US. Since 2017 the Irene Taylor Trust and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have joined forces to bring the project to the UK, supported by Arts Council England.

These tracks were written with mums in prison in 2024.
