Broken Chords - Greater Manchester

Broken Chords
A musical story of life, love, loss and connectionWhen Stuart and Kirstie lost their son without warning, they turned to music - not to explain what happened, but to survive it. Picking up guitars, they began writing songs as a way to keep breathing, keep talking, keep going.What followed was a quiet rebellion: against silence, shame and the idea that grief is something you do alone or are meant to get over.In Broken Chords, they tell their story in their words and music - a story of love, loss, absurdity and the fragile hope of connection.But its not just their story. It speaks to human experiences we so often struggle to talk about: grief, love, misunderstanding, resilience and finding a way through.Audiences have described Broken Chords as moving, surprising, funny, hopeful and deeply human.Read more about what people are saying about Broken Chords.The performance will take place 3-4.30pm and the audience are encouraged to arrive in good time and invited to remain afterwards for conversations that may arise following the show.
