The project team were delighted to appoint Sid Peacock as Clee Hill’s songwriter in residence.
Sid has been working with local communities to research and write new pieces of music which celebrate this unique place and its people. Twelve months of careful research, composition and rehearsal with local singers and musicians are leading to a series of performances. These new songs will showcase the character of this area but also the talent of its people.
Lucas, a photography student from Ludlow College, has followed the process of creation and captured the events in a series of images. Filmmaker Simon King is using these and his own footage to create a film to accompany the performance.
Pupils from Clee Hill Village Academy have written songs with Sid and local young people have made field recordings to capture the experience of growing up around the hill today. Sid’s workshops help young people articulate their stories and understand the creative process.
Sid is seeking local musicians and singers to join the project for a final performance at St Laurence’s, Ludlow. To find out more, use our contact us page.
