TRACS Case Study

Drake Music (Scotland)

Drake Music Scotland create opportunities for people with disabilities to make music.

We want to create a buzz in Edinburgh and give our musicians the chance to write and play and record their music. So we want to fit out the studio with the best sound recording equipment we can get to do justice to all their excellent musical ideas and talents.

They will be able to make CD’s to share with friends and family, get their stuff out there on the airwaves and on the internet so it has a much wider impact. With the funds we’d run some recording projects with people who haven’t had the chance to make music and record – and you never know, maybe one of the young people here today could make it to the charts one day and get really famous!

Why should people vote for us?

We need your votes because there are many many disabled people here in Craigmillar, and the city of Edinburgh, who are hugely talented.

Music has this fantastic power to transform lives – it’s something that everyone enjoys.

Having the opportunity to record a CD means you can say ‘I made that!’
It involves a lot of concentration to get it sounding right, and gives you a massive sense of achievement when you’ve done it. We want to get all this great music out there and let these kids’ voices be heard – which in this digital age should be an opportunity that’s open to everyone.

Disabled people aren’t just on the receiving end – they’ve got a lot to give to other people too which we don’t always recognise! We’ve got the potential here to give a lot of pleasure to others in the community through their songs and music. So please help us to realise their dream and get their music out there so everyone can hear how much talent they have got.
