Hello People! Welcome back to the When In Yorkshire Podcast, I hope you're all very well. It's been quite a while since the last episode but it's great to be back! This is episode 45 and features a conversation with Ben Buddy Slack of The Swan Song Project who I heard about a couple of years ago when a video appeared on my Facebook timeline about Ben and an experience he had with Alabama 3 - we talk about this and what happened so I won't ruin that however the work that The Swan Song Project does is fascinating and hit a chord with me as it really highlighted the power and impact music and the arts in general can have on our lives especially as a way of processing emotions. It was great talking to Ben and hearing about his own experiences and what caused him to set this project up. I mention in the conversation that this podcast does not have a Patreon subscription service or anything like that so if you do enjoy this podcast and are in a position to contribute - please visit and help keep Swan Song Project going. https://swansongproject.co.uk/ https://swansongproject.co.uk/donate/ https://www.facebook.com/TheSwanSongProject/videos/854142078298629/

Showing people how your life can impact the world, even after death with Ben Buddy Slack “Life is about having fun, whilst making an impact” Ben Buddy Slack is from Leeds and the founder and creative director of a charity called . He helps people living with terminal illnesses or dealing with bereavement to write and record an original song. After starting four years ago after his grandma passed away and regretting not having recorded a song with his grandma. Ben Started playing music at 13 years old, his uncle used to play with the family and everyone would always gather together and it was something he never saw as a career. He started playing in pubs with his uncle at the age of 14 and there and then music was part of Ben’s foundation. After wanting to be part of the police force, Ben started a degree studying criminology at university, but after the first year he had created a band and took a gap year to perform and chase his dream and he never returned back to University. Being a band did not always provide a steady income and Ben had to work in many different jobs to earn money, before he fell into a radio station who was running a workshop for musicians to help in the community and one of their projects was with young offenders and Ben was invited to help out and it opened his eyes to a way of life that was so rewarding. Some of the people present were seriously vulnerable and had huge breakthroughs. Ben did so many community building projects and began to specialise in how songwriting could be his niche to inspire. Then Ben’s Grandma died, when she was near the end, she was in a care home, and it is then when the family began to sing one of her favourite songs by her bedside ‘the black velvet band’. She was none responsive, but as the family were singing, she started tapping her finger along with the song. After she had passed away Ben realised that he may have missed something by not having his grandmother recorded as a legacy piece. Then Ben realised that he could help people share their own songs towards the end of their life as a legacy project given to their family. Before you know it, Ben started at Marie Curie hospice in Bradford in May 2017 and went and spoke to the residence, to ask them whether they would like to share a song towards the end of their life for their family and friends. This quickly became The Swan Song Project Charity that has now been running since 2018. The Swan Song Project is like two human universals. Everyone knows what it is like to lose someone or fear losing someone and also everyone has some connection to music, which makes it relatable and of course even more powerful. “The impact someone has on your life, doesn’t have to stop when they die” Resources:

If you've been to a hospice before, then you'll know that they are amazing places. Hospices don't just provide nursing care for the dying, or the terminally ill. Since the founding of the first modern hospice in 1967, their work has grown to encompass rehabilitative therapies, emotional counselling, and even bereavement support for families, alongside excellent clinical care. The mission of a hospice is to improve quality of life and wellbeing, so that every patient can enjoy whatever time they have left to the full. This modern incarnation of hospice and palliative care was the vision of one woman: Cicely Saunders. In the 1940s, Cicely was a nurse who believed that medicine was failing to provide adequate and compassionate care to people who were dying, and it was this belief that led her to pioneer new methods of palliative care that totally redefined how we care for the dying. Cicely died in 2005, but in this episode we're lucky enough to talk to a colleague of hers, Mary Baines, who worked with her, and witnessed the birth of the modern hospice movement. The story Mary tells is a story about how one woman's compassion and conviction brought about lasting and revolutionary change, and it's a great one. And for all the hospice staff out there - make sure you listen to the end! There's a song included, courtesy of the Swansong Project, just for you. Theme music is by Bernadette Ryan. 'Hospice Family': Written and recorded by Victoria Kent, Kathy Roebuck and Ben Buddy Slack at Marie Curie Hospice Bradford 25/09/17.

We also talk to Ben Slack, founder of the Swansong Project, who writes songs for hospice patients about their lives. We're even able to share one of them with you - make sure you listen until the end! Theme music is by Bernadette Ryan.
