Description:
Homeless men and women from St Mungo's have joined forces - and voices - to write, record and produce their own powerful original track to mark the charity's Action Week.
Their song 'Written on the Streets' was composed in just two days with the help of Camberwell-based songwriter and musician, Chris Gregory and musicians from the band Yeah And She Has Red Lips Too. Using a song writing method loved by David Bowie, the 'Cut up Technique', it draws its inspiration from each contributor's personal experiences and explores themes of being on a journey, taking detours and diversions and working out which way to take at a crossroads.
