Weekend Warriors in Harlow

There is a fun item in the Harlow Herald about the Weekend Warriors programme. The idea is that it gives “35 to 60-year-old lapsed musicians the opportunity to rejoin a band and relieve [sic] their musical youth”.

Apparently, the idea has been imported from the US and Australia where it has proved very popular. Any money raised is to go towards providing oportunities for local young people to perform live. The Music Industry Association carries a list of Weekend Warrior programmes in other areas.

I’m fascinated by the resources and imagination that people constantly demonstrate. This sounds like the sort of creative activity that will make a considerable difference to some people's happiness levels.
