Clockwork now has its own YouTube page and we're looking for musicians to send us a song to start off our Clockwork Live section. Music is great therapy for the mind and as we're all locked at home we thought it's a perfect opportunity to come together through song!
It can be anything, an original, a cover, an instrumental piece, a bass solo (gotta love a bass solo). Just send us the video (you can PM us for details) or send us the link. Please mention Clockwork at the beginning or end of the video and that's it. Can't wait to hear you all!
Please send this to anyone you think might be interested in taking part or tuning in. Share, share, share.
Thank you and remember you can find lots of useful information and links at www.clockwork.org.uk

Some advice from an amazing man who once took the time to write to me when I messaged him about my diagnosis. I’ve been feeling the anxiety too and this message reminds me to take a moment and chill. Please remember to use the websites available.

Stephen Fry looks at the positives around self-isolation and managing stress.We are sad to say that in light of today's announcements by the government we have decided to put our Parents and Carers support group on hold untill further notice.
Great open mic on Sunday afternoon. Stayed tuned for the next one #openmic #clockwork #livemusic #mentalhealth
We held our second Clockwork Open Mic on Sunday at the Master Park Pavilion. It was a great turn-out on such a damp afternoon, and it was excellent to be able to once again bring people together under the Clockwork banner. And we raised £93.78!
Special mention to Jake Gamble and Mitch Mullender for representing the young musicians committee. They were truly excellent, and weren't even put off by Matt Hayes flubbing around 80% of the lyrics to American Idiot 😉
Thank you to Matt - with help from Mick Hayes and Steve Gamble - for taking care of the sound, lights and equipment. Thank you to Dom Fitzmaurice and his bar team for taking such good care of everyone. And thank you to Kelly Doughty for providing a lovely spread for us all.
Please add any photos or videos you took in the comments section, we'd love to see them!
We will soon be announcing the date for our summer open mic, so keep your eyes peeled, and please help us spread the word among the young musicians in our community.
