Linking Lives @ Greyhound

This Linking Lives Media event went really well. The event was at The Greyhound Pub on the Whitemoore estate in Belper. The night opened with Jaspers performing again, then there was two quiz's, one based on media and the other based on the history of Belper. After the quiz's Ant the new volunteer sang a few familiar song. He kept that really great talent quiet, it was brilliant! Then there was a few interviews and Jasper closed the event. Thank You to all who attended and the entertainers, a thoroughly fun night again.

The March 'Safe Rave' was another huge success, with loads of young people turning out to see ANGLE and SHOOKZ play back to back. This 'Safe Rave' was techno themed and saw yet another different layout for the DJ's. They were on a 4ft stage, which looked really impressive!

Linking Lives @ The George

Linking Lives media project hosted an event at The George and Dragon pub in Belper. It was a really good turn out for older and Young people. Jasper performed an acoustic set for some entertainment. Filmcity were filming the whole night as a documentary, also recording some interviews about stereotypes of young and older people. Paul and Tom recorded some separate audio for the launch of the radio project, and plan to do a behind the scene's (away from the camera's) interviews to document how people are finding the media project as a whole.

Updated Art Instillation


Updated Art Instillation

Along side a few repairs and a re-paint we also started working on the forgotten speaker art instillation. The speakers were put there in summer 2009 with the idea we would spray paint over them. The new idea is really creative, watch out for the finished art piece.

As part of the refurb of the games room we have moved the table football to the side and set the Wii up on the SMart board, and added speakers under the seats, it's a brilliant gaming experience.
