Today we had a professional photographer come in to take photographs for our posters and CD covers . The designer then put them in to a design for us and the students to review in the following weeks workshop.
Today we started our April 2017 Music Workshop, that was funded via a our Thanks Giving page. The support of friends and the internet community helped us to give young people the chance to make music.
We had hoped to have 6 – 8 participance but we have now got 15 people subscribed. The Thanks Giving page has helped E Unique to proved workshops for over 6 weeks running evening session of 2 hours per week were learners will be working on songwriting, production and performance.
Speaking to the participance after the first session everyone has had a fun and informative time and feel that the workshops have given them confidence and they are looking forward to coming back next week.

E-Unique held a jewellery party at Beechmere Retirement Home in Crewe. It was the first jewellery party that E-Unique has held and are pleased to say that it was a success.
We had great support from the residents, family and friends on the day and we raised £171.00. We gave the organisers a £21.00 donation as a thank you for letting us use their facilities.
We also had generous donations from people who asked us to come again as they wanted us to host another jewellery party. E-Unique hope to host another jewellery party in Crewe in September.
The money raised will go towards the running of the up and coming music workshops.
E-Unique would like to say a big thank you to everyone who participated.
If you’re a fan of music and enjoy having the chance to win a few prizes to boot, keep your eyes peeled for the next E-Unique event. A project designed to engage young, disabled people in music, E-Unique recently held its first public fundraising evening at the Hammersmith Town Hall. The fundraiser was backed by The Big Lottery – Young People’s Fund in conjunction with HFVC’s very own youth project Events 4 Youth. Locals, volunteers and family members filled the hall to enjoy music from local singers and songwriters, hit the dance-floor for African-fusion band All 4 One, and experience some freestyle rap with TNS. Guests also won exciting prizes that were raffled off throughout the evening, plus ate, drank and got hold of some gorgeous gifts provided by the Body Shop. The show culminated with the performance of an original song by E-Unique director Eugenia Bertin’s own band, the Uniquez. As the evening drew to a close she commented, “It went really well. I’m very happy with what I’ve done, and the young people loved it.” All proceeds from the event will go back into E-Unique, a social enterprise founded by Eugenia after working with creative workshop provider Defcon. After a series of sessions with team leader Natty Sobhee, her passion for music led her to ask why there aren’t more workshops for young people with disabilities and interesting activities that will help to keep youths off the streets. She created a business plan for E-Unique and began running monthly workshops with Defcon that let young adults create songs, DJ, or try out technical music production. The end result of the sessions thus far is a CD that was written, recorded and performed by the young people, with all sales going back towards improving music-centred community programmes. Eugenia will continue to hold music workshops and fundraisers to achieve more visibility for E-Unique in the community, but that the main goal for everyone involved is to have fun.
