The Autumn/ Winter 2011 round of Words Without Weapons saw young people from across Leicester work with urban artist Wavey, creating powerful tracks that dealt with issues of violent and knife crime. Through singing and MCing, these young artists explored some of the most relevant, emotive and scary subjects that confront young people today.

They performed in a successful showcase at The Music Café, on Saturday 17 December, for a large audience of family, friends and local music fans.

This massive showcase included performances from 15 local artists. It was hosted by Presto and featured music from DJ Glamour.

Young people involved in Words Without Weapons will also have their tracks distributed on a special CD.

Words Without Weapons is supported by The Home Office Communities Against Guns, Gangs and Knives Fund.
