I just got back from the Onevoice weekend, and I’m quite frankly knackered. It feels like years since we left home on Friday, for quite a bit happened over the weekend. Despite the best efforts of the weather – I’m convinced someone has stolen summer – all the kids seemed to be having fun. one of the highlights for me, of course, was the fact we had a film crew with us, filming the kids in action. I got to watch a music video being made, virtually from scratch, with the kids helping to compose the music, as well as appearing in the video. I kid you not, when you see it posted on youtube, you are going to be amazed. It is genuinely cool, kind of rap, rather funky. I loved it. I had to leave before I saw the finished video, but from what I did see in the small editing suite (working with the guy who made the ‘behind the scenes’ documentary on casino royale) it kicked butt.

It was so invigorating working with these kids. Me and the other role models all gave small talks this morning – mine was basically on university. Talking to these kids and their parents, telling them what can be done and what the future may hold, as well as listening to the other role models, is incredible. I’ll probably tell you more later in the week, but now I’m going to flop myself down in front of the TV. Life is good.
