SNEAK PEEP OF 'A SONG FOR ADAMSDOWN'

Adamsdownhere.co.uk has been given an exclusive preview of 'A Song for Adamsdown'.

Jon Blake, local author and songwriter, coordinated the project and worked closely with the community in creating the song.

"The Song for Adamsdown project was first proposed to the Adamsdown Community Project in December 2008. It was taken on as an Adamsdown Arts Association initiative and welcomed by the heads of local primary schools.

"The idea was to write a song which encapsulated both Adamsdown’s history and the area today, to be sung by pupils in the local schools, who would also help to draft the lyrics and do the artwork for the CD.

"I wanted us to create something which would give all Adamsdown’s residents a good feeling about the place where we live, and in a small way help us to cohere as a community.

"Hopefully this song project will only be the beginning and we will be able to give a voice to many other people in the area.  Spread the word!"

A final version of the song will be recorded after Easter, and will be avaliable here at Adamsdownhere.co.uk
