Just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and all the members of the UVG The event can sometimes be a bit stuffy and old fashioned and the performance set just the right tone you could see the smiles on peoples faces. But not only that the performance was really excellent.
Being at the UVG was inspirational, from the moment I stepped through the door the atmosphere was infectious, with young people of various ages, gender and backgrounds all coming together for one common purpose; a love of singing and performing. I was impressed by their dedication and enthusiasm; you couldnt help but want to be part of it!
...the audience certainly appreciated the skills and talent shown by the members of Urban Vocal Group who wowed us with their singing.
It was a real privilege to be in the same room and listen to the singing. I was not expecting to be quite so moved by it. It was inspiring - I left feeling really positive and have since told lots of people how great you all are.
Its fun. You get a lot out of it. Your voice and performance skills improve. Gets you off the streets
it has helped me with things such as getting into college
UVG has helped me over the years to be more confident in myself, explore different ranges of music and it has helped me socially to make new friends, cope with different social experiences
I would just like to say a big thank you to all at UVG for helping [our daughter] We are so proud of her and we know its all thanks to you how she has come on.
[My daughter] really enjoys being part of [UVG] and it has been lovely to see her gain confidence with her singing.
Being part of the UVG has helped my daughter to:
•Appreciate other peoples strengths and weaknesses
•Enabled her to expand her social skill sets
•To share and be collaborative
•Demonstrate enthusiasm and commitment for something that she is passionate about

•Respond to and give feedback.
Each of the above are serious life skills which she will need when she goes out into the working world and we are grateful that she has had the opportunity to be part of this and enhancing her skillsets as she has because she has chosen to and not because she has to.
