“These songs were created under the topic of mental health and the struggles related to it, and trying to cope with life” 

‘Determination’ is a song made up of several people’s letters or prayers to the universe that include feelings of loneliness, feeling low and the struggles of life. It’s the determination you find to get through.

Broadcast on Friday 22nd March, Angelle hosts a piece on youth-music group New Gen at Snape Maltings 2024 Celebration event.

New Gen @ Snape Celebration 2024 - LIVE on BBC Radio Suffolk!

New Gen is a project of Out Loud Music in collaboration with Ipswich Community Media, offering the opportunity to explore and develop skills in music production, performance and more by bringing together like-minded young people to develop their talents outside their comfort zone. Highlights this last year have included trips to BBC Radio Suffolk, writing and recording an EP around Mental Health in Punch Studios and gigging at festivals such as Latitude, Mayday and Primadonna. We are based at South Street Studios in the Norwich Road area of Ipswich and engage with 13-19 year olds across the town. Email newgen@outloudmusic.org to find out more!
