To celebrate Youth Music Week 2008, Make Some Noise - the Youth Music Action Zone for Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent were invited young people form their projects to come together for a creative consultation event led by their Youth Liaison Officer, Louise Jutton  and two West Midland-based musicleaders Paul Wilcox & Paul Carroll.

Amongst the young people invited was Samantha Walker, who has just been appointed the first ever Make Some Noise Ambassador 'The best thing was being able to do what you want to do, freely, with help.'

Make Some Noise teamed up with the Stoke on Trent Youth Service to provide a forum for young musicians to get together and discuss what opportunities they would like Make Some Noise to offer in the future and to take part in a live gig challenge.

Louise Jutton said 'the group all fed back on marketing, project development and accreditation for Make Some Noise. It was helpful to hear some of the young people express their interest in becoming more involved in our activities'
