A collection of music written and recorded by 12 Livingstone residents will be launched at a free concert in Yeppoon on Saturday.
The ‘No Covers: Original Music by Resilient People’ CD contains 12 original songs by people who have faced depression, domestic abuse, physical disability, and mental health problems.
The songs were written at a songwriters’ workshop held over eight weeks in Yeppoon, funded by Carinity Education Rockhampton.
Workshop facilitator Narelle Schirmer said the songwriters “found their own voice” writing the songs, many of which expressed the difficulties in their lives.
“The resilience of these people, the camaraderie and feeling of trust to share their stories and their feelings was inspiring,” she said.
