The Solihull Song Challenge

Solihull Song Challenge logo

Throughout April and May, as part of the National Year of Reading, Solihull Libraries asked budding poets and lyricists to come up with the words to a song about what their home means to them.

We received some great entries and would like to thank all those who took part.

Local singer/songwriter Aaron Yorke has now set the wining lyrics by James Plant to music.

The finished song "Dreaming of Leaving (Going Home)" is only available to download here for FREE.

Find out more about Aaron Yorke by visiting: http://www.aaronyorke.co.uk/

Download "Dreaming of Leaving (Going Home)" for free. 

You can also download Home by Samantha Wykes which was the runner-up.

The songs are in mp3 format and are DRM free so should play in most music players that support the mp3 format.
