YOUNG people in a town have set up their own evening of music and dance, as part of an ongoing drive to provide more entertainment for teenagers.

The Loughton Youth Project has booked up Debden Park High School for the event which will showcase local bands, DJs, Dancers and MCs.

The idea for the show came from Year 11 Debden Park student and recent Epping Forest Arts Bursary winner, Chris Crichlow, who will be hosting the event with his LYP Radio Urban Show co-presenter Oshae Margurite.

Chris said: “In the past there has been live music events organised for local young bands, but never really for local MCs and the Urban music audience.

“There is a great local scene in Epping Forest. We’ve got MCs coming from Ongar, Epping, Loughton and Limes Farm. I think people will be surprised when they hear how good these performers are and what they have to say”.

Youth Project manager Nick Robinson said: “The fact that young people have organised such a diverse, multi-cultural performing arts event in Debden says an awful lot.”

The event will take place at the school, in Willingale Road, Loughton, from 7.30pm to 11pm on Saturday March 13.

Entry is £2 and more details can be found at loughtonyouthproject.com.
