Bruce Dickinson hosts music therapy session for kids

IRON MAIDEN frontman BRUCE DICKINSON has hosted a music therapy session for a group of special needs children in London.
The singer visited a centre run by the Nordoff Robbins’ charity in the British capital on 22 June (15) as part of Music Therapy Week and he took part in a session with kids from the Richard Cloudesley School.
He says of the visit, “I’ve always thought that music therapy makes sense, because music is a universal language, and it crosses every border, every disability. People just like making a racket and it’s very fulfilling, especially if you can make a good racket with somebody. It’s sharing, it’s communicating, but it doesn’t have to be in words.”
Dickinson’s band is to be presented with the Nordoff Robbins Silver Clef award on Friday (03Jul15) in honour of their contribution to music.
