‘Music is amazing, it has changed my life’

A music group in Northern Ireland is teaching older men how to play instruments as a way of tackling loneliness.

Music to Your Ears is based in Strabane in County Tyrone.

It is run by two local songwriters, including Mickey Joe Harte who previously represented Ireland at Eurovision.

The group received funding from the National Lottery Community Fund to put on a number of theatre productions.
