He was was not sure what to expect but went walking in at 2pm with his guitar and amp saying 'I'm not sure i will stay long mum'. He finally came home at 10pm and was back again for the full sessions for the next two days. B-sharp at the arts centre provided the teenagers equivalent of 'kid in a sweet shop'. How wonderful a free (I still can't get over that this wonderful 3 day workshop was free) musical resource for young people, run by young people, driven by young people. We went along to watch an impromptu performance by the group on the third day and were overcome by the brilliant performances by all the young people taking part, most of which had not even met before let alone performed together. Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant and thank you so much to all involved. My 13 year old son Tom took part in B-sharp at Bridport Arts Centre in July 2010.

Was so impressed with the incredibly high standard of music performed by all the young people involved, and as always, staggered by the enthusiasm and energy that Fran, Pete and the B# leaders/trainees still displayed after 3 long days... A huge thanks for everything you have all done, hope to see many more projects in the near future.

The children enjoyed the whole experience immensely from start to finish. I personally feel that they got so much from this; it helped with team building, self confidence and even encouraged them with their literacy in school. I am delighted that both the performances were such a huge success and wish to thank everyone who was involved, particularly John, Oli, Greg, Jacques and Fran. A truly memorable time!

What can I say? I was expecting a mediocre night, fidgeting in my seat.... Not so! Our kids rocked the stage with smooth Jazz and wicked bass lines. Stonking kids. Absolutely brilliant :0) I am just back from watching the final performance by B Sharp at The Marine Theatre. What can I say? I was expecting a mediocre night, fidgeting in my seat…. Not so!
