New Album

 

 

Due for release in October 2010, this new offering from one of Leicester’s established local bands is eagerly anticipated. Entitled "Allowed a Voice," the new album promises to deliver more of Refuge's relaxed melodies and intricate lyrical plays. Enriched by their partnership contributions, this new 10 track album will showcase lyrics written by mental health service users alongside original material from members of Refuge, as the songs on the album cover topics from positive outlooks on support and recovery, through to coping mechanisms for challenges such as anxiety and depression.

 


 

 

 

 

'Allowed a Voice'

Album Released October 10th 2010

 

 

Peter the lead singer of Refuge, who himself suffers from Bi Polar disorder (previously known as manic depression), hopes that the album will help people speak freely and without prejudice about mental illness, and raise awareness of the positive attitudes and projects that are available today.

 

 

‘Allowed a Voice’ features Lyrics and Poems from those who are ‘Experts by Experience’. These songs are all personal accounts from people living with various mental health diagnoses.
