Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Lecturer joins Sponsored Improvisation Gig for Charity

For the third year, lecturer Colin Broom is going to be taking part in an Epic Sponsored Free Improvisation to raise money for Polyphony, a charity offering people in Glasgow with mental health problems access to musical activities. He joins a number of other musicians, (including some from the Conservatoire) playing for a total of 9 hours, this time on 5-string bass guitar.

If you'd like to sponsor him in this endeavour, it'd go a long way to helping Polyphony continue their work. The link is here:

There's also still time if you want to get in involved by playing. All instruments welcome. If you're interested, do contact Colin for more details. 

If you want to know more about Polyphony, here's a video that shows some of what they do.
