Community Songbook

In collaboration with 12 Kingston community groups and local professional musicians, The Skeleton Park Music Festival is creating a community songbook. The songbook will feature a wide variety of well known folk songs and songs written locally, in an attempt to reflect the rich diversity of the Kingston community. The community songbook will then be distributed throughout the community, as needed. The songbook will help encourage Kingstonians to share music together and learn to sing each other’s songs.
