"Definitely something to do with history - it's so interesting!" What have you learnt about the History of Gangs in Liverpool? "That some of them were extremely violent and would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. They were ruthless and were just as bad as modern day gangs, killing and seriously harming people for no apparent reason or because of grudges.." |
"The best thing about BWB was when the full day rehearsals started to kick in. Everybody in our group finally clicked together and felt as one. We all got to know each other very well which has made us all become great friends outside the project, and also because that was the first time we got to see each individual act properly!"
"I would describe being apart of BWB as probably one of the best projects I have ever been involved with! Brilliant leaders, fabulous people to work with, I loved every minute of it!"
"I learnt about gangs such as 'The High Rip' gang and about their history, conduct, crimes and trials" "I learnt that the gangs where violent and that the crime rate of counterfit silver/cold coins where very high" "I found myself feeling like i belonged. It was the best summer ever and i will never forget anything or anybody. It also gave me a massive confidence boost" |
