Kerwin keeping a focus on mental heath

Tabby Kerwin is keeping the issue of good mental health to the fore with a new regular podcast.

  Tabby Kerwin will be speaking to a number of brass band personalities on her podcast

Tabby Kerwin is helping to keep the important issue of good mental health to the fore during this period of enforced social isolation.

The profile of her work was given a great media boost when she was featured in the #BritainGetTalking campaign television campaign last week, with her being part of an advert insert between some of ITV's most popular programmes.

Podcast

Tabby is now launching her own podcast called ''Brass on the Mind' on Tuesday 21st April which will feature open, honest and unedited conversations with guests sharing their experiences, stories and support for better mental health in the brass band movement.

First up, there is a socially distanced cuppa and chat with mental health advocate and musician, Liv Appleton of the blog 'It's Not a Trumpet'.

Podcast platform

'Brass on the Mind' can be found on your favourite podcast platform or head to: www.anchor.fm/brassonthemind
