The Urban Zone: opportunities

Every now and then an opportunity come along that allows us to make a direct difference to the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves. This is one of those occassions:

In a nutshell The Urban Zone is a three-day training residential experience, which the TUC, Jean-Alain Rousseau and Peter Todd are supporting.

Co mpetitively priced we are offering 100 organisation / professionals workshops and 50 young people workshops.

So give us a shout if you would like any further information.

People

Kane 'Nemasis' Johnson is a name that frequently crops up in this area of music. We mentioned him in our feature last year about SoftTouch, the community Arts Project that has helped many aspiring young rappers and MCs. Kane produces hip hop and Grimecore. See his page on Facebook. I put a photo of Kane on my Facebook page from the night we were at Example.

See our new page Urban Music Artist Profiles.

Gig dates

Rapper Ricky C has got some shows coming up. He told us "I have the tickets so if you could make it that would be mint." At the Maze in Nottingham, 16th May, for a metal/rap night. Then 20th May at the Shed with a full urban, hip-hop line up. At Lock42 on 21st May we have reloaded with rap, indie, metal and folk. If you can come, tickets are £5. See our main gigs list for more details or see Ricky C's page on Facebook.

Find out more about Ricky C on our Artists page.

Thursday 3rd March has been set as the date for the first I Love Dubstep night. Starting at 10 p.m. the music policy includes Dubstep, dance, floor fillers, chart, electro, hip hop and more. It will be a blackout party - no lights - everyone gets a torch on entry. 18+ and £3 on the door. If you can find it - the venue has not been announced yet. Sounds like a secret rave.
