A local indie band, featuring Justin Hendy from Gower College Swansea’s MIS department, teamed up recently with Swansea Young Single Homeless Project (SYSHP) to release a special limited edition Christmas single called ‘Winter Warmer’.

All proceeds from the single by Broken Fires will go to SYSHP to purchase packs of basic household items for young people starting out on their own for the first time.

Broken Fires also organised a very special show in support of the single at the Square Peg Coffee House in Sketty on 23 December.

A Level Music Technology students at Gower College Swansea got to hear from a true industry veteran recently.

Gill Taylor has 38 years experience in the music world and has worked with artists as diverse as Stevie Wonder, Frank Zappa, Blondie and Meatloaf. For the last 23 years she has managed Elvis Costello.
