Get Started with Radio (Liverpool)

Get Started with Radio (Liverpool) is a week-long workshop designed to provide digital skills to young people in its respective area, notably of course from their homes which has provided a new dimension of learning for all involved.

In light of this our support Lead, Adam Seymour, remarked that “within five days a group of strangers have done so well to unite during lockdown to create a show packed full of really important and prevalent issues”.

Free Sound Artists

Funded by The Prince’s Trust

A colourful Wave of creativity comes all the way from the North-west of England right to your ears! With the support of the Prince’s Trust and Reform Radio, Young people from the Lancashire and Liverpool area have created an avant-garde series of mini-podcasts that deal with a whole range of relevant topics for today’s society.

Their creations take on the inspiring challenge of creating a demo of a Podcast during lockdown– which was put forward by BBC Radio 1’s Dj, Podcast-explorer, and Radio genius Annie Mac. The result is knitted together in this special with an interview with the Podcast Producer and Radio personality Louise Mason.

Zhoosh LGBTQIA Music and Arts Project

Tandem Theatre is a creative arts charity for communities across Greater Manchester and beyond. Enriching, developing and transforming lives through drama and other participatory arts.

The organisation has extensive experience in delivering high quality arts practice for homeless adults, vulnerable women, young women and young people with behavioural and emotional challenges. Tandem Theatre aim to encourage and edify participants so they acquire the tools needed to reach their potential. Their projects take many forms depending on the needs of the various groups we work with. Working in partnership is the heart of what we do, and work alongside host organisations such as Youth Services, Homeless Support Centres, Women Centres and Alternative Education Providers to name a few.

Zhoosh*, is a project for groups of LGBTQIA young people based in Rochdale, Salford and Wigan. The groups have written and recorded their own songs with composer Michael Betteridge, written their own poetry with performance poet Jackie Hagan, and seen Kate O’Donnell, Artistic Director of Trans Creative, perform at the Birdgewater Hall, Manchester. The young people then performed their music live to launch Trans Vegas, the Trans Arts Festival by Transcreative at Manchester Art Gallery, at Salford Pink Picnic and at the biggest national LGBT+ youth festival, Rainbow Playground, by the Proud Trust.

The groups also created short films, which will be available online and screened at HOME, Manchester in the new year. All the young people who completed the project achieved the Silver Arts Award, Level Two qualification accredited by Trinity College London.

This project was funded by Youth Music, Arts Council England, Salford Clinical Commissioning Group, Superbia and the Guardian Society Foundation.

*Zhoosh is a term used in the Polari slang language popular in gay subculture meaning ‘to make more exciting and lively’.
