This blog could be for anyone who is interested in reflections on life, original music, and building better communities.

But more specifically it’s for two kinds of people.

The first of these are singer-songwriters, like me, who are looking to find more, and better, live outlets and audiences to sing their songs too. I feel like I know this group of people quite well, but because they are like me in some respects doesn’t mean that we all have exactly the same wishes and requirements.

The second group is more of a mystery to me. It is the people who love music and also like the idea of hosting gigs in their homes, but aren’t sure what that might mean in practise.

In my years of talking about Homesong I’ve had many people tell me what a good idea is. But in all that time only one person has committed to the idea, and gone on, like me, to host Homesong gigs on a regular basis. A couple of others have put their toes in the water, so to speak, and tried it out.

I’m wanting to learn how to find more about these people, and specifically about their doubts, their fears, and their questions. Because I remain convinced that every community and neighbourhood has somebody who could enrich their own lives and those of people in their locality by hosting Homesong gigs.

The question remains: how to find those people and get them across the line and a part of the Homesong community?

Your input, support and help with this conundrum would be invaluable.
