Wild and young

Pure radios have teamed up with the RSPB Wildlife Explorers, Fun Kids and Reading for Life to launch the WildVerse poetry competition. Write a poem on any wildlife subject you like and your poem could be read out on Fun Kids, a radio station that’s for you, not your parents.

And what’s more, the winner gets a really cool PURE Sensia and the four runners-up an EVOKE Flow internet-connected digital radio so you and your friends can listen to your poem on the radio!

Children and young people “aged up to 19” are invited to submit their ‘wild poems’ which can be about a bug, a bird, a tree or any kind of wildlife, and the winning entries will be read out on Fun Kids between the 18th and 31st of October 2010.

Blue Funk

A word from Garry....
'The future of the Blues? Very possibly. Another alarmingly young (17yrs) lad with a huge talent on guitar, fronting his own band of veteran players who can barely keep pace!! I just adore this huge groundswell of young raw talent that is keeping the blues alive. This kid is playing half the venues/festivals on the planet this year.
Support is from the Alex Mckown Band. Remember the first time Bernie Marsden played for Bluefunk at the British Legion. Well I used a trio called Inside to support him. A trio comprising 2x 11yr olds and a 10 yr old. Everyone thought I’d gone out of my mind including Bernie...... and then they blew us all away!!! including Bernie. Alex is now 13yrs old fronts his own blues band and is a veteran of several major blues festivals (Colne x3) Think I got that one right? Aah....to be young again.'
