We're going to feature some of the music that GYC have created at special events like the "Express Yourself" day last year. We're also planing to have some interviews with Young Carers... and here's the first one:

•A day in the life of a young carer from Stroud - made by BBC Gloucestershire as part of National Carers Week - read more here...

Note: to hear the interview you'll need the free RealOne Audio player - if it's not already installed on your computer you can get it here.

Me and my crew come step to you

When we drop the beat

You drop out your seat

Feel my heat

Everybody wanna get with us

Coz were gonna bust

Blow this place

Right into space

Young Carers are on the case

You see it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3

All the ladies wanna get with me

What’s my name

We’re on top of the game

Up to steal the fame

MC Solid (AKA Jason) Gloucester Seniors

Gloucestershire Young Carers Forum

Below is a Rap that was created and performed by 'Our Voice' at Gloucestershire Young Carers Project's 10th Anniversary celebrations.

RESPECT , regardless of age, race or sex

Cos we CARE, is it fair that we’re always there?

We always HELP, then we yelp

We have a choice to use our VOICE

Why don’t you LISTEN

We will give you a Lesson

YOUNG CARERS, its our mission

We still have FUN, then we run in the sun

It has to be done!

Whatever, we all stand strong together ,

YOUNG CARERS to last forever

OPPORTUNITY to do an ACTIVITY

Enjoy the novelty, we have the FACILITY

Don’t let it control your life, rise above,

Show your family you got LOVE

We got FRIENDS, with really good TRENDS

We all like to blend, to the very END.

Music Review

Linkin Park – Live in Texas / Meteora

Best Song:       Fate

Fave Band Member:   Chester

Musical Style:     Rock / Heavy Metal

This music is good to listen to while playing on the computer. The lyrics are good and easy to learn. I like their image because they’re different to boring pop bands.
