All welcome to our next workshop

Come and join us…

Would you like to come to a free, fun, no pressure workshop Saturday May 4th at Willerby Methodist Hall, Carr Lane/Willerby Square HU10 6JP 4pm – 5.30 pm

We will be using music, poetry, local film and storytelling to look at what it feels like to come to live in a strange land, and how music can bring people of different cultures together, overcoming adversity and creating something good and new.

Free of charge. It will be easygoing and there will be tea and biscuits.

Charley’s Poem

Charley

Charley

Lonely
Silent morning
Couldn’t understand anything
Words rushed straight through
Lie

Family
For ever
Never there again
Will always be gone
Why?

Home
Sweet comfort
Heart belongs there
Will always belong there
Me

Past
Never forgotten
My town stands
Will be there forever
Victory

Amber’s Poem

Amber

Amber

I left home
Everything I know
Everything I love
It was unbearable.

Coming from school
Not allowed home
Family have gone
What is happening?

Ushered into car
Away from Willerby
Out of Hull
Destination is unknown.

Frightened
Scared silence
Thinking of home
Wish I was there.
Alone.

Arrival
Shaking nervously
Where am I?
Wanting to be home
Destination.
