Welcome to Black Sheep Music!
What is Black Sheep Music?
Black Sheep Music is a homegrown music business dedicated to building community and promoting justice through music. It is directed by Phil Hudson and features two community choirs – in Fawkner and Pascoe Vale – and Melbourne band the Little Somebodies. Black Sheep Music also offers ukulele lessons (group and private).
Black Sheep Music facilitates songwriting for groups including school groups and community groups experiencing disadvantage. Stay tuned for an exciting local school songwriting project in term 3 2024!
Black Sheep Music also does community performances and workshops and is involved in various community and justice related projects.
Getting involved – what’s happening now?
Black Sheep Music is about people getting involved in and enjoying music, whatever their ability, age or background. On both a personal and societal level, music can be transformative. Maybe you want to join a community choir? Learn an instrument? Book us for a workshop? Or come and see inclusive original music?
It was great to see so many at the gig on Friday 21st February – Little Somebodies / All The Way Home @ The Thornbury Local (see FB page for pic.) It was wonderful night of music & community at a great venue, with the odd political message being thrown in! Another great Black Sheep Music event 🙂 Stay tuned for next 2025 gigs – coming soon!
Phil continues to facilitate an exciting songwriting & performance project in 2025 at the English-Spanish bilingual school Newlands Primary School in Preston West. The song was written by the 3-4 students and there was an amazing performance at the 2024 end of year assembly 🙂 Stay tuned for the video in the 1st half of 2025, including some student created dance moves!! If you want Phil to facilitate writing a song at your school, please get in touch.
