What's it like delivering music sessions in some of the most challenging educational settings? In this fascinating extended length episode, Sheffield musician Chris Morris talks about his work with Yorkshire Youth & Music, finding ways to connect with young people through music, in particular through singing and songwriting - often with transformational results.
