Please Don't Be The End

'Sounding Out' was developed by the Irene Taylor Trust as a ‘through-the-gate’ programme for ex-prisoners - a new progression route for people who had taken part in our 'Music in Prisons' projects. The programme is designed to support ex-prisoners to get their lives back on track following release, through a combination of live music performances and paid training placements.

The first cohort of 'Sounding Out' participants have achieved some wonderful things, including forming the band 'Platform 7', performing at the Southbank Centre, St Marylebone Church and Bush Hall in large-scale performances alongside Mark Anthony-Turnage, the Neil Cowley Trio and Police Dog Hogan; they have appeared at conferences and events such as Sharing Good Vibrations, Clinks' AGM, Koestler Trust's 50th Anniversary Celebrations, and for the Hardman Trust in HMP Brixton; they have supported six cohorts of Making Tracks, and one participant was made a BBC Performing Arts Fund fellow.
