**About this session**
Music can bring back memories, lift our spirits and connect us to
people, places and moments in our lives that were fun, important and
safe.
From Bollywood classics and South Asian artists to queer anthems, love
songs and guilty pleasures, we all have songs that mean something to us.
Maybe there's a tune that reminds you of growing up, a song that gets
you dancing or one that always makes you smile.
Come along for a relaxed, friendly chat about the music we love. Share
your favourite songs, swap recommendations and discover what music means
to others in our South Asian GBTQ+ community. You might even rediscover
an old favourite!
* What songs bring back special memories for you?
^
* Is there a song that always lifts your mood or gets you dancing?
^
* Has music helped you feel connected to your culture, identity or
community?
There's no need to be a music expert, just bring along your love of
music and join the conversation! This session is always a fun way to
learn a little more about each other and make connections.

non-judgmental space.
