Very proud of these wonderful folk from Larne Base and what they achieved during their time at The Music Yard, Larne. The audio is the live recording from a song everyone in the video learnt to play using guitars, keyboards, bass guitar and percussion, with Base Co-ordinator Gemma on vocals! We also had great fun our drama sessions too!! Huge thanks to the Northern Trust for supporting this very worthwhile project over the past few months.
