Participant quotes

I’d like to say the time being given by the Good Vibrations team is really appreciated and it helps many people with anxiety and mental health. Thank you.

I never thought I’d stand up and say ‘this is an improvisation on Indonesian instruments’ in front of my mates! But I just had the confidence. I’ve got the confidence to try new things now.

There’s very little that prisoners do together in prison. Can’t think of too much else as part of a team apart from football. And it’s good to work in groups – this has opened up doors for me to try other things, and to listen to other people I wouldn’t normally talk to.

Gamelan is accessible. It’s fine to play in a wheelchair. One woman came and she played with one hand and she loved it – she laughed and said, “I can do something here!” That’s impressive for me.
