One life, one great night out!

A MUSICAL extravaganza aimed at uniting young people from rival postcodes was hailed a success after more than 200 turned out.
Organisers praised the youngsters for making the One Mic One Life event trouble free – despite some youths having territorial disputes in the past.
They flocked to the Shaw Theatre in Euston on Tuesday to catch some of the UK’s hottest urban stars of the moment – including chart-rider DJ Ironik, from Highgate – and to add their voices to a growing sense of horror at gun and knife crime.
Host and organiser Kamilah McCalman from One Housing said: “This shows young people can be trusted and that they need more events like this. It was fantastic.”
Leon Silcott, 16, from the Fresh youth academy in Highgate Newtown, said: “If they’re all in one place they can’t fight each other so they have to talk.
“They can actually make friends.”
