YOUNG PEOPLE LAUNCH THEIR OWN ALBUM

The talents of 20 young people living in and around the NDC area have resulted in the launch of their own music album and the areas very first record label called Prime Line.

The group have been meeting since summer 2009 at The Venny in Wood End to write and produce music to create their own Community Cohesion album called Trial and Error. The range of music on the album reflects and celebrates the different ethnicities, backgrounds and life experiences of the members.

Conar Hennedy, one of the group members said: “We came together as individuals and worked together as a group. We learnt a lot about how our lives are different to each other through our beliefs and experiences which then helped us to write songs for the album. Trial and Error is a celebration of all our differences.”

During the recording process the group went to Exchange Mastering Studios in London where the album was mastered by an Engineer who has worked with artists like Dizzee Rascal and U2. Track titles on the final album include Lost, What’s Changed and Trouble.

“He was very impressed with the work we produced and has asked if he could be credited on the album for his mastering,” said Conar.

Trace Coombs, Senior Youth Worker at The Venny, said: “This is a fantastic achievement for the group, they have been working very hard these last few months. We had a launch event for the record company and the album in March and everyone has been very impressed with what they have heard.

“The record company Prime Line has been set up as a charity with a steering group made up of different agencies and organisations in Coventry and the young people in the project”.
