08 May 🎵 Together in Tone – Community Update

Bringing Music & Community Together Across The Wellington & Wiveliscombe LCN

Together in Tone is a community music project funded through the Somerset Association of Local Councils, focused on improving wellbeing, reducing isolation, and celebrating local music.

🎤 What’s been happening?

Since January, we’ve been busy connecting with music groups across the area.

So far we have:

• Engaged with 18+ music groups
• Connected with 6–7 choirs and vocal groups
• Spoken with 10+ parishes across the LCN
• Attended rehearsals, meetings and community sessions

💡 What we’ve learned

Wellington and Wiveliscombe already have a rich and active music scene.

But we’ve also heard:

• People don’t always know what’s available
• Some residents feel unsure about joining
• Transport and access can be barriers
• Groups would love help promoting what they do

🎯 What happens next?

The next phase of Together in Tone will focus on:

✔ Making music more accessible

• Friendly, low-pressure “have a go” sessions
• Activities in community settings, including hubs and community groups

✔ Promoting what already exists

• Creating a local music directory
• Sharing opportunities more widely through parishes, networks and local channels

✔ Telling the story

• Filming and showcasing local groups
• Sharing real stories about music and wellbeing through digital content
