On Sunday 23rd October 2005 Pitsmoor young people’s talent shone as they performed at the ‘Recital Night’ for Black History Month, held at Bramhall Lane.
The group, all aged between 9 and 21 are part of Ellesmere Youth Project. They performed a selection of dance, singing and freestyle rap. Some of the group were performing tracks which they themselves had written, including Friends, by Laura and Shaniece and Angel by Khali.
The group had tirelessly rehearsed under the vision, dedication and supervision of Lorraine Blake, Senior Youth Worker; Tanashe and Tasha who worked on the dance routines and Khali, working on singing and stage presence.
After the event all of the young people agreed on what a great night it had been. ‘It was great to know about our History’, commented Raymond, ‘The night was wicked. I really enjoyed the singing and dancing, I would do it again,’ added Laura.
Thanks to Sheffield Futures, Sal’s Cut and Weave in Firth Park and Best Cut Barber on Spital Hill for all their support and assistance.
