Live Music Now was delighted to take part in the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Arts in Mind Showcase at The MAC Belfast last month, bringing together organisations from across Northern Ireland to celebrate the role of the arts in supporting mental health and wellbeing. 💛

As part of the programme, Live Music Now musician Gary Day (Garden of Music) joined Michelle Bradley from The Parent Rooms to share the story of the Lullaby Project – the first programme of its kind in Northern Ireland. The Henry Girls also performed a selection of beautiful and moving lullabies.

You can watch the Arts Council of Northern Ireland’s short film from the showcase featuring the Lullaby Project and hear more about the project, including listening to the final lullabies from the first NI cohort in our latest news story here: https://www.livemusicnow.org.uk/celebrating-northern-irelands-first-lullaby-project/

The Lullaby Project has been made possible through funding from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the Baring Foundation through the Arts and Mental Health Partnership Programme, alongside support from Belfast Health and Social Care Trust.

Jessica and Paul’s reaction to our social takeover 😂😂😂

07/08/2026

Like many new mothers, Michelle Bradley felt overwhelmed after the birth of her child.

But it quickly spiralled to a point where she suffered extreme anxiety, sleepless nights to the point where she felt she may take her own life in sheer desperation.

After contacting her GP, she realised the range of options for help for new parents were limited and services were extremely limited.

Using whatever little help was out there, Michelle got through this traumatic time but she wanted to use her experience to help others and thus the concept of The Parent Rooms was born.
