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 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.
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?
Speaking of which, Little Somebodies sold out their debut album launch Many Miles from Home at Nighthawks Bar! It was a wonderful gig for performers and punters alike – with quite a bit of movement of feet and vocal cords – and a great venue to launch the album into the world! To listen – and possibly buy the album – go to Bandcamp on this link:

Phil continues to facilitate an exciting songwriting & performance project in 2026 at the English-Spanish bilingual school Newlands Primary School in Preston West. The song was written by the 3-4 students and the video is being made at the moment should be ready early in 2026! It includes some student created dance moves!! If you want Phil to facilitate writing a song at your school, please get in touch.
