UNITY - a celebration of Black History MonthHerts County Council Youth Connexions asked me and my partner in crime, youth work author and guru Vanessa Rogers (www.vanessarogers.co.uk) to help them put together a major launch event for Hertfordshire’s biggest art project – a celebration of Black History Month. The result was UNITY, an outdoor free concert at Hertford Castle for more than 500 young people aged up to nineteen. Featuring ten live acts in four hours UNITY was performed by young people for young people – and all the music, regardless of the performers’ colour, was influenced to a greater or lesser degree by the rich seam of black music that’s never far from the surface in any pop music genre. That includes reggae, ska, funk, hip hop, rock, soul and jazz! Artists included AHEAD OF TIME CREW (Hip Hop), ZION & THE WHITE BOYS (Reggae), Stanza and The Movement (Hip Hop) and, as they say, many many more.
