Rappers and video producer G Frsh, music producer Garbz, artist and DJ E-Plus, emcee and singer Princess Nyah, BBC1xtra DJ Ace, Island Records rep Ben Scars and singer Kele Le Roc were on hand to give tips for success and answer questions.

The teens also took part in interactive DJ, music production and vocal demonstrations, and enjoyed performances from top urban acts.

In at the deep end

Hammersmith and Fulham Council have teamed up with pool and leisure centre operator GLL to launch the introductory six-hour course at the Phoenix Fitness Centre Bloemfontein Road, Shepherd's Bush.

Anyone aged 17 and over who cannot swim can enrol by visiting www.gll.org.
