Tom Robinson speaks to Jon Hillcock about the restorative power of music

Available for over a year

Looking to brighten things up after a dark period in his life, Jon began visiting friends (including 6 Music's own Tom Ravenscroft among others)at their homes to hear their record collections - and then sharing the conversations. Through these exchanged Jon experienced firsthand the restorative power of music - plus discovering some interesting new tunes too. He and Tom Robinson discuss how music can help the mind, and more in this extract from our Blue Sky II, marking Mental Health Awareness Week 2018.
