Festival created by young people starts today!
A unique festival created, planned and produced by 100 teenagers in Scotland gets underway today. Young people going to Mfest in Stirling will get to see fantastic music acts like Calvin Harris, and comedy, dance theatre and film during 30 July to 2nd August.
One of the organisers, Rhian Campbell, 15, said: "We've worked incredibly hard on the project to get to this stage and to see it all come together is fantastic.
"MFest is unique in its delivery; nothing on this scale has been delivered exclusively by young people.
"We are incredibly proud of that and we feel like we've made a difference."
The festival is the culmination of Stirling's Macrobert Centre's young people's project mPower.
The Commissioner's Office hope to work with mPower on an event in February 2010 as a key part of the consultation, a RIGHT blether, watch this space...
