The Aphasia New Music Group (ANMG) is a collaboration between people with aphasia, family members, musicians, and speech and language therapists.
The group works together to write and perform original songs and music. Members do not need any experience as a musician or singer. Ideas are developed through workshops; the only rule is that the music must be new. Researchers from the UCL Communication Clinic are interested in the impact of the creative activities on people’s communication and wellbeing.
New workshops are beginning in November 2024. Click here for further information =>

We held two public performances in June 2023, and visited seven SayAphasia community groups across the country for taster sessions. We held two public performances in April 2024. We have secured funding and are continuing with our workshops into the future.

The work of the Aphasia New Music Group is supported by funding from the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia and a private donation. Previous funding has come from Arts Council England, Higher Education Innovation Funding (Knowledge Exchange) and the Evaluation Exchange/Co-production Collective. The team includes music and theatre makers Oedipa.
