The extraordinary power of music and how it changes lives.

Music therapy has a massive, positive impact on helping cancer patients find some peace and bring back valuable memories at a very tough time.  Alphonso Archer previously worked in sales in IT in the UK, but his own cancer diagnosis shifted priorities. 

Now with a Masters Degree in Music Psychotherapy, he helps patients, including those who have never played an instrument before, to create music that means so much, particularly those facing end-of-life... 

Once again, hands up, this was a subject I had no idea was even a thing until a few weeks ago. And the music you're about to hear, recorded by a cancer patient who had never touched a musical instrument before Alphonso pressed the record button is...well...moving and simply extraordinary.
