Eighteen months ago, I launched a GoFundMe campaign with an ambitious goal: to raise £150,000 to take musicians with learning disabilities to Broadway in honour of my friend, the late Sir David Amess.

On October 15th 2017, The Music Man Project performed at the West End's London Palladium theatre for the second time in three years. Our 2015 debut had been a tremendous success but failed to convince the Royal Albert Hall that we could put on a similar production at a bigger venue.

"Best Life" is more than just a song; it's living proof of what’s possible when we focus on ability rather than limitation. From the very first note, collaborating with Scooppiati has been an absolute joy.

The alliance stands as a beacon of hope, a testament to the transformative power of music, and a call to action for a more inclusive world.

It was bonkers but brilliant. Military precision and control went out the window as the entire arena let their hair down and simly had fun!
