The Princes Trust Urban Music Festival

The Princes Trust Urban Music Festival had a star studdeb line-up. This year, well what can i say? I can only think of one word. WOW! It truly was fantastic.

The artists were fab. They each had quality performances and interacted with the audience, which really does make a difference to the overall act. As an individual from Birmingham, who rarely travels to London, due to a hectic lifestyle I really believed London was represented positively as I had SOO much fun.

Can I please mention that the men in London are SEXY (you know!) so from this event I will definitely be finding myself in London much more frequently.

There were some really good events to take part in and opportunities to meet successful people from all ends of the performing arts and sports industry ie. Dancers, MC'S etc etc.

Big up to The Prince's Trust for putting this event on as it truly was a day that will stay in my memory forever and ever. Nuff love and respect! CHANTEL xxx
