 Communities
First is putting on a live music event for the end of term.
This is in response to feedback from young people of Ysgol Bro Ddyfi,
who were asked the question in 2003, "If you had between £100 and £1,000,
what would you do that would improve life for young people in the Dyfi
Valley?"
Of their responses, over 50% polled asked for some form of local live
music event.
The gig will be held in the Community Hall, Machynlleth on 18th December,
from 7.30-11.00pm. Tickets are £3.00 on the door.
It will be an exciting opportunity to see up-and-coming band Kentucky
AFC (see photo), Little Miss Mental, a popular local band with a strong
following and local band, Acid Reign, who will be making their public
debut! All young people in the area are encouraged to come along and enjoy
the event.
Kentucky AFC
Adam Walton, Radio Wales: "Most of the best records that have been made this year£have been
pop records£My top two are still Kentucky AFC's deuce of brilliant singles
this year, Bodlon and Outlaw."
A Juice Bar, staffed by young people, will provide refreshments. Stewards
from the community will be present throughout the night and it will be
an alcohol-free event.
This will also be an opportunity to talk with young people and find out
from them what their needs are and how they see the Dyfi Valley developing
- what they would like to see happen. This information will then feed
into the Communities First strategy for the area.
Youth Forum
It will also be an opportunity to develop the local Youth Forum, consisting
of young people representing the area, who would be consulted on local
decision making by the council. All aspects of community life have an
impact on young people, who are concerned about a large number of issues
- access to a safe place to play and socialise, access to affordable housing
and the prospect of relevant training and jobs.
