Ginger Bennett\u00a0has been performing as a singer in and around the Kent Coast since 2003.<\/p>\n

She has performed at the Margate Jazz and Soul Festivals and is a regular performer at the Canterbury Festival<\/a>, but until recently, her music career was entirely self-funded, with profits from ticket sales paying for the next gig.<\/p>\n

Her latest project,\u00a0<\/u>Songs from my Soul\u00a0<\/a>is a\u00a0powerful exploration of a mother daughter relationship performed through song and spoken\u00a0word and will debut at\u00a0Folkestone Tower Theatre<\/a>, on 29 October and 30 October 2021.<\/p>\n

These performances will kick off a year-long project recording discussions of Becoming, Belonging and Being with UK immigrants and their children.<\/p>\n

Ginger spoke to the Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries<\/a> about the project and how successfully applying for Arts Council<\/a> funding\u00a0has made a huge difference.<\/p>\n
