Child’s Play – Michael O’Kane

Recorded in Kampala, Uganda this radio feature illustrates how music and performance is influencing the community and lives of former ’street children’ in this troubled and chaotic city.

With strong musical themes the programme examines how two special schools and one unique charity cater for the marginalised in Ugandan society through expert guidance and the supply of second hand classical instruments.
