Calling all young budding songwriters, rappers, creative writers, wordsmiths and poets!
Set the Tone is delighted to launch a very exciting project for 14-18 year olds across Norfolk. We are inviting young people to submit an expression of interest to work with professional singer/songwriter Emily Barden in creating a Norfolk Anthem that will be debuted by Emily on the 14th July at a Live Set the Tone event in Norwich and then performed by school children across Norfolk in the next academic year.
If you have something to say about your county and your experience of growing up in Norfolk in the 21st century and would like to be part of the specially selected group of young adults working on this Norfolk Anthem please do register you interest below. You do not need to have any previous song writing experience or be a musician.
Closing date to register your interest in this project: 12pm on Friday 30th April.
