I'm a firm believer in music as a form of communication. Music has always been a form of escapism for me.
Imagine finding solace in a melody or strength in a song. That's what this episode of the Recovery Devon Podcast is all about. Host Em Flint gathers an eclectic group of musicians to explore how music can be a lifeline in mental health recovery. The episode features Jak Lewis, an award-winning local performer, along with Rachel Thame and Deborah Woollaston from the Moor To Sea music collective.
They share their passion for making music accessible to everyone, emphasizing its role as a fundamental human need. North Devon's beloved Jim 'Smalltown' Jones and Recovery Devon director Mike Smith, who moonlights as a songwriter and open mic regular, also join the conversation. Together, they delve into the magic of music as a form of communication and escapism.
Whether you're a seasoned musician or someone who feels 'musically terrified', this episode offers a warm, inclusive space to connect with the healing power of sound. Tune in to hear personal stories, heartfelt discussions, and maybe even find the inspiration to pick up an instrument or join a choir. Music, after all, is more than just notes and rhythms—it's a way to express, connect, and heal.
