The following text is a transcript from parts of the Tuesday Takeover co-hosted by Thomas Mills High School.

Good evening. This is the Tuesday takeover with Thomas Mills. High School from Framlingham. My name's Tom I'm seventeen. I'm from Fram and I play the guitar. Hi, guys. I'm Jade and I'm from Fram, I'm eighteen and I'm about to finish my level three in sign language. Yeah. Hi, I'm Lily. I'm eighteen and will study English literature. Next year high. My name's Ruby. Next year. I'm hoping to do an art foundation at Bury saint Edmunds. Hi. Um, Grace. I edit the school magazine at Thomas Mills and want聽to do broadcast journalism at university next year.聽

That was Franz Ferdinand, with Take me out. This is Thomas Mills. We're here for the Tuesday takeover. We will be talking about lots of stuff -聽 latitude. Sign Language veganism technology, we play and lots of great tunes so. My name's Tom I'm seventeen from Fram and I play the guitar. I'm here with Ruby. Grace, Lily and Jacks and we're going to start by talking about music and people. So, for all of us have a song

00:01:00.36

and an album or a piece of music that represents a defining moment in our lives or an important memory. That's a first day at school mounts for the loved one or just the beginning of a new part and our life. So, for me that song. Is there one that just played Franz Ferdinand's take me out a kind of represents the star of my music tastes as it is today and it was the first song that I heard that really kind of in a cliched way spoke to me kind of made me feel the way of our music that I

00:01:30.65

do today and I think. It started for me that this period in my life and I'm in love with music. I I'm in a band. I play music. Every day and I think without that song. I don't think I would've been the same person. I am. And I know that Ruby. You have a similar experience. Yeah. So, Franz Ferdinand was the first gig. I ever went to indoors. I went to see them at the Cambridge Corn Exchange. I'm out with my mum. My dad and my brother and I remember standing there on stage and it was just. I blew my head off. It was one of the most amazing things

00:02:00.65

I've ever seen and they're such a good band. They've created loads of other bands or lead singer. He pushed on mobiles like lost. Bit chosen. Maguire, so great blast about Franz Ferdinand or super influential band and that song just shows or they're great. Almost. How old were you when you went to that gig. I was fifteen when I went to that gig bloom blue. Mama. Amazing car. That must have been an amazing experience and Lily. You've got a different song. Why is that I chose Grand Funk railroads inside, looking out because my dad's really

00:02:31.01

into a lot of different music and I kind of didn't really appreciate that or take much notice of it. But when we'd be on long journeys. Sounds quite bratty but I used to put that song on to put him in a good mood when I wanted something. When I was really young. And I kind of kept doing that until I realised, actually. It's a really good song. And now. It's a bit of a ritual that we listen to on every journey and I really love the song. That's amazing. That's a great technique. How old were you when you first heard the song. Do you think.

00:03:01.20

I must have been about seven or eight. That's a lot of years of life. First up. Let's hear that song. So that was my song inside, looking out by Grand Funk Railroad. I'm Lilly and we're going to continue talking about music. People we've been talking about kind of songs that mean a lot to us. My, my personal was take me out by Franz Ferdinand losers as he just heard inside, looking out, Grace. What. What song. Have you chosen. Pick the pretender by Foo Fighters. I just have really strong memories of. I think

00:03:31.30

it must have been when Youtube was first, a thing for a very long time ago. My dad was like, Oh, look. How cool. This music videos and there was music video for the pretender by Foo Fighters. But it also really got me into like rock music. It's started that kind of obsession. I think I must have been about five. So a fiver. I was listening to the Foo Fighters firmly quite a funny memory. I don't know. That's amazing. I've just remembered. Is that the music video where this

00:04:01.42

kind of the red wall. And there's those like riot police. That might have been one of the first music videos. I watched as well. Yeah, I think that's an incredible. One amazing. So. So, Jacks. What. What would your sock of choice. So my song was rock star by nickel back because this was such an iconic memory for me. Ever since I was a little kid back. Back in the days when I was about three or four years old. My dad used to have the original Nokia three, three. I O phone and that was his ring tone and I'll never

00:04:31.52

forget being pushed in the trolley around. Tesco's have the kid and his phone rang. Whilst I was sat there playing snake on it as his phone rang the song came on and I just sat in the trolley dancing because I used to love that song and every time. It came on. I'd have a little boogie with rock star because this was the sort of music. I was brought up with my dad and my mum very much rock kind of music and that sort of thing. And it was just such an iconic song of my childhood. And think you were telling me earlier that some, so iconic in your household that just the mention of it to your dad brought back memories of this ringtone. Lately, I

00:05:01.60

was talking to my dad earlier about being here and I just mentioned the song. Rock star and he instantly looked at me and went out with my ringtone used to love that song and yet. It's such an iconic song in the family. We love it. It's a tune. Does that for a generation that rock star as a song, but everyone will know. Put it on everyone will dance to it as such. Great. Yeah, one hundred percent. I'm coming back to the Youtube thing I have vivid memories of watching. I think you must have in a lyric video watched on Youtube and singing along and my parents must

00:05:31.73

have thought, What is going on and I believe now. We will hear the song. This is rock star by nickel back. That was rock star by nickel back. We were talking about our favourite songs. Memories that we attach them. One of my favourite songs is the pretender by Foo Fighters were going to hear that. Now, imagine a five year old headbanging. Into this cave. That was the pretender by Foo Fighters that. His Grace's favourite. Most childhood memory song where Thomas Mills, taking over the Tuesday takeover. And we're talking about our favourite

00:06:01.73

songs and songs that have memories with us. I'm going to be talking about a song called Rio by Duran Duran. This isn't something I would usually listen to, but I always remember my mum and brother. This comes on the radio. They whack it on the CD player and it was just loads of laughs there be running round the kitchen. Dancing. Whenever we were in the car with my dad. Obesity now has had in their hands because he hated the song. My mum and brother would be singing along. Laughing, dancing. It was just such a sweet memory and it is also just a really good track and

00:06:32.05

I think. You'd struggle to find someone apart from her dad who didn't like her. So his Rio by Duran. Welcome back to Tuesday takeover would Thomas Mills. High School and herewith Jade Lilly. Tom. Ruby and myself. Grace and we're now going to talk about Latitude Festival. Latitude is an annual music and arts festival within the grounds of Henning Park near Southwold in Suffolk. The festival are scheduled to take place. This year. On July, the twentieth to the twenty third. So the line

00:07:02.27

up is quite is really an echo of the early years of latitude kind of two thousand six two thousand seven and pre two thousand ten a lot of the axe cut returning this year Pulp with Jarvis Cocker. Paul Heaton and Paolo Nutini had been there before in the very early stages of it, which is kind of testament to how old music kind of Britpop

00:07:32.32

and the resurgence of it recently. And I think we've got. A track from Pulp. That was pop another act making a return this year is Suzy Sue formerly front woman of Susie and the Banshees, she will be headlining latitudes. This year putting an end to a ten year hiatus, which will. I'm sure of it. Open talking on that you know. I think for where we are a school and from it.

00:08:02.38

The local festival, so ever wrong. Usually goes for a day or the recount was always such good fun because everyone's, you see people. We haven't seen in years and especially now acts like Suzy Sue and the pulp is just going to be amazing, cos bands like that. And we've had. So many bands are all. Me and my mates, people you go from school. We all turn up and to these gigs outside and it has such a lovely festival where we can all agree. Together. Yeah, that's so true with everybody being that everybody kind of around here has their own individual experiences with it and kind

00:08:32.49

of good memories from it especially. Tom's band. See, my point of. I say. Yeah. So I'm part of a bank or decorous. We were gonna tell the story. We were walking around latitude. Last year and a drummer. Archie's dad stumbled across an open mic competition for b.b.c. Introducing. And we can let her out. Yeah. Lets, do it. Why. Why not, we cobbled together some instruments.

00:09:03.28

Two guitars that we'd found a bassist had for some reason. Boys base. We're still not quite sure why. And we just gave it a go kind of gave it our best shot walking down to the to the food court and Hayden, a bassist Gets, Gets a call. So do you want to do you want to appear. The next day. You've won one, introducing competition and wit, we're kind of web were blown away cos we didn't really realise it was a competition at that point. So we're celebrating. We're kind of. We're hugging random people

00:09:34.27

outside the macaroni cheese. Still and it was a great experience and then we came back. The next day, played a full set and it was the most incredible gig we've ever played there was the support from. Not only people that we knew that or come to the festival, but people that we didn't know. We had no idea who they were kind of the support from them. I think was the most amazing thing kind of people coming up to us and saying. I like that. How kind of like. Yeah. It was just

00:10:05.17

an amazing experience. I think that's testament to the community aspect of the festival. I think you would be hard pushed to find another festival were that were so inclusive and so welcoming to each individual act and I think that's testament to. The line up in it can be viewed on the line up the wide variety of what is available. This year and all the other years and I think it's an amazing thing as residents to Suffolk were very lucky to play host to

00:10:35.26

a. Remember this latitude when we all showed up and Icarus will plan on stage and I brought some mates along from a different school and I remember them all sitting down. Then we went a little boogie. They orders went on my gossip. She's great. Like the chance to get to know, so many new bands and things and especially you think like Judith, so good because. If you're not into a certain type of thing you can go do Arts and Crafts. You can go to yoga. You can go to the comedy talent. You can get someone cooking. You can do so many different things like there is something for everyone

00:11:06.04

What do you guys feel about that. Do you feel when you go. There you get inspired by different things about her latitude. I think. Last year was such an amazing festival because last year was my first time ever actually go into the festival and it was because my friend messaged me literally two days before saying, I've got some tickets. You want to go. So I ended up going for the weekend. It was honestly such an amazing experience and it was just as I was walking around. I bumped into Lily who just said, Oh, by the way your cursor playing and I thought, Oh, we have to go along. And like Tom said the amount of people who came out. Just to see,

00:11:36.04

Icarus. Obviously, all their friends and everyone. We know. But there were so many unseen faces before, who came out to support the local bands and local artists and it was such a great experience to see all the support from everybody from around the local area. I think that's kind of one of the major parts of it. It's just that support and support for every level of whatever. As Ruby was saying earlier. Cut. Whatever you want to do. There's support for it. And there's systems in place of the the b.b.c. Introducing Stage is one example

00:12:06.37

of this, but there's also access creative College have a stage. So every level that there's an opportunity for one to get involved and I think I mean, I don't have a lot of experience of other festivals and unbiased, because I've lived in suffer my whole life, but I think last year's special for that. And now we're going to hear one of Icarus tracks. Manda. Oh, hi. You're listening. To the cheese. They take over. My name's Jade away from the weir. Thomas Mills high scoring there Tuesday takeover. Earlier on. We were talking about Latitude

00:12:36.58

Festival and some of our favourite memories and experiences from it. And for me one of my favourite things to say about latitude was the accessibility, so I'm currently learning sign language and I'm going off later this year to study to become an interpreter. And that was one of the best things I think I've ever seen at a festival. There was so much accessibility for people who were deaf people with different disabilities, different access arrangements and needs and it was such an amazing place to be because I think since Rose and Giovanni won Strictly. Back in twenty twenty one.

00:13:07.06

I think the awareness and Understanding of sign language has come into its own. So, obviously, we've had one of the most recent things that have changed. This is the twenty twenty two bsl ACT, which has finally recognised sign language as a legally recognised language and this is so important because there have been so many challenges faced by the Deaf community. And it's so important to make these access arrangements. I think one of the biggest problem was during throughout. covid. When we all sit there in and the evening watching the news

00:13:37.30

waiting to see what we were going to happen, whether we were going into another lock down and what was going to happen. I don't know if anyone ever noticed, but there were no sign language interpreters at the during these announcements. And some people may say that subtitles can be used. But what a lot of people don't realise is that bsl And English are very distinct languages and if sign language is your first language doesn't necessarily mean. You can understand English and this is a common misconception. But covid was an absolute nightmare. I don't know what you guys

00:14:07.41

think. But with wearing. Masks and staff. Even as a hearing person. It was a really difficult time trying to understand everybody and trying to follow along with conversations, but imagine having to do that if you're someone who relies on lip reading that is such a nightmare trying to follow a conversation when you're. You cannot see what the person is saying it was such a difficult one. But I think one of the most important things that I think is really interesting. Where's there has been so many debates about making sign language. g.c.s.e. option because obviously you get the option to do French or German

00:14:37.42

or things like that. And I remember a few years ago, there was a twelve year old boy called Daniel Jennings and he was deaf and he made a he was really hit the news about trying to campaign for. Having sign language as a g.c.s.e. option and he was so frustrated because he wasn't he didn't have this option as a language. So I was wondering. Would you guys. If that was an option would you want to do. Sign Language at g.c.s.e. What do you think about making that an option. I think it's. We have we are French. We have shown, we are Spanish and they're inclusive to an extent, but I think

00:15:08.39

you're right, Jade. It's kind of it's that next level of inclusivity which I think is an catered for at the moment. And I think coming into the times. We're living in there is not enough. Inclusivity in that field and I think it would be an incredible thing. Imagine if half of the school or ever could use sign language and that would be. It would be so much more inclusive for someone coming in who needed that facility and it would make them feel so much more cooked. I think. Definitely. That

00:15:38.70

would be an incredible thing to be brought in. I agree. I think it is so important. I mean, even just knowing the basics of like learning how to finger spell the alphabet. Something like that. That can make such a difference when you're trying to communicate with the deaf person. Just having that little bit of impertinent showing that you care that little bit. Just around the outback can make such a difference in the lives of a deaf person and it, honestly, make such a difference. I'm a waitress and like I've had a couple of times I've had some people who rely on. Sign Language, who have come into the cafe and I am serving them and

00:16:08.77

I do feel guilty because trying to order and I. It's so difficult because I'm like I don't know what they're trying to signal and it's quite confute confusing. If I put myself in their shoes. It's like. They want to come in and have a nice coffee and they're having to deal with all this. And it's like if I just need the basics of sign language, which, if it was a government, taught less and I'd be able to do that if it was on the curriculum. I could learn the basics of like. Hello. How are you. What can I get for you. That would make their lives, so much easier and recently. I went to see a play.

00:16:39.11

And the whole time they had an interpreter on stage and at the start. I was a bit like. Oh. Is this going to be distracting, but not at all like the whole play. Didn't even notice her. But in my mind. I was like those people in the audience. Who do rely on. Sign Language will be sitting there and they are going to be understanding and be able to enjoy themselves, which I just think is so amazing that. People are starting to recognise that. This is not a hindrance like a necessity in a society which is really good. Yeah, because I mean. Ever since. Like I said Rose and Giovanni. Once directly. The awareness and like empower and help in this area

00:17:09.14

has absolutely grown. I know Rose does some London shows and performances and different things using sign language and the amount of deaf people who will go and watch these shows because there are so few options like this with the accessibility. Although I did find it really interesting during one of her shows various was on stage using sign language and there wasn't a voiceover. However, there were captions available for hearing people in the audience and I just wondering what your views are on this. There was a hearing man in the audience who stood up and started shouting at Rose

00:17:39.15

on stage saying that. It was discriminating against. Hearing people that she was using sign language and I thought that was a really interesting way of looking at that because it was still available to hearing people. It had subtitles and things, but I think it was a really interesting perspective that. Maybe he should reflect on that and see that. That's how deaf people experienced the world. It's hard for them to access it. Do you both agree on that or he's not. He is. Not had something. He can't access that person has been access, but able to access her speech and things and shows

00:18:09.44

always live. So actually him having to read subtitles as not him. People being offensive towards him. That's actually just people being able to understand. Like him putting himself and other people shoes and he's never had to suffer for not being able to hear anything. So I actually think that's a really amazing step in the right direction. Yeah, but I mean. Would the use of subtitles for him. There was no accessibility problem because English as his first language was means he can quite easily read that. But like I said earlier. A common misconception is that if you know. bsl You definitely no

00:18:39.58

English, but it's so important. They are such different languages. They have entirely different grammar structures which for some deaf users. bsl user. Sorry if that is their first language. English might not come as naturally to them and then could prevent a lot of issues. So I think it's really important to have interpreters at these events which is why, during locked on like I said when there was no interpreter. Boris's announcements, it deaf people were absolutely left in the dark and it was not at all fair, because they just. Didn't have the access to such critical information

00:19:09.81

that we didn't realise at the time was going to impact our lives for so long. But, yeah. I definitely think from. From my perspective. Going onto obviously do it later this year at uni. I can't emphasise enough. The importance of having this sign language option. I mean. Did any of you ever do much sign language at primary school or anything like that. I was gonna say I think, kind of partly pigging piggy backing off. Ruby's point, though. There is more emphasis on it in primary school, which is interesting because that kind of blocks in the basics there. But then

00:19:39.95

as you go on and it's more of a more of a fluent language. There's a resistance to facilitate. Or even understand the problem that there is with her in that access arrangements aren't always catered for and. Yeah, I think it's. I think it's bad. I think it needs to change. I think I was quite lucky that in my primary school. We did learn sign language, but there. I think the only reason we did that is because we were

00:20:11.04

all in the same year as this boy who, as non speaking autistic and so we obviously were all friends with him, but we wanted to make him feel more comfortable. You know. And the teachers could see that he was sort of. Struggling with the normal friendships. So, yes. We'll sort of learnt. Even the basic sign language. I mean, we were quite young, so it was quite like it wasn't difficult for us to learn, but I think we were quite lucky and primary school to learn that. I think people don't realise the importance of being

00:20:41.14

able to learn things like your basic education. Your GCSES in your language. If bsl Is your language. Then these options should be more available because there's a really interesting. A debate about whether or not children who are deaf or use hearing aids for example, should be put into mainstream schools. Because there are various studies have found that children who leave school at sixteen and if they are deaf or use hearing aids or cochlear implants. Some of them have been found to leave school at sixteen with the reed, reed. The reading ability of a nine year old and it is because of their lack

00:21:11.22

of access to this equal education. So I think it can make such a difference in the lives of the students. It help as well building friendships and communicating with their peers and teachers to have this opportunity to go to communicate in a language that works for them and not being expected to figure out in the English language. Just because that's what we all speak because I think people don't realise how many people rely on, sign language. Just eat. Whether you're deaf or if you're non verbal. There are so many different reasons why people use sign language. I think this needs to be a part of a curriculum to even like

00:21:41.33

I said, Just teaching the basics to help those who use this as their first language. So, going off of this. I'd like to introduce the next song. This is called sign language by Eric Clapton. Hi, it's Ruby. I have. The points. I want to talk about today on a chance to choose takeover is the topic of veganism and veganism for me a lot of people get quite defensive about it a lot of people think it's just. It's just not eating me or just cutting out certain things, but for me and my dad and a lot of other people. I know a vegan.

00:22:11.35

It's like it's a way of life and it is a political standpoint. It is not just cutting out certain things in your diet is you making a choice. That is gonna change your life because it's what you truly believe is better. Like any strong belief system and I think one of the reasons why I wanted to talk about it today was because people can be very defensive about. The ideas are vegans. People can be really rude and offensive as a vegan for me. I just want to try and make better with how animals are treated and

00:22:41.47

how our climate is rapidly changing and a lot of danger. Oh, love. Species are at risk and where are we ourselves at risk and for me. It's just. Something I can do individually, but a little bit of change. I can hopefully make people can be very defensive about it and want to argue with her. And that's fine because I love having good conversations about it bears also is what I choose to do. And I think it can be really misunderstood so. Be willing to hear what your geysers opinions are

00:23:11.51

on the topic of veganism and if you've ever been interested in it or why you. Not I think it's interesting. The point. You bring up about kind of it being a way of life. I'm not. Personally, I'm not a vegan, but I think that's kind of solely down to the point that I'm kind of afraid of the change. If that makes sense. And I know. That's a horrible bigotry thing to say. But I think it's definitely a way of life and I think I'm kind

00:23:41.58

of stuck in the vt To. Carnival way of life for the by hundreds and I agree with you about the benefits for the planet and the benefits, obviously, for animals and I think. Personally not. Firstly, I'm gonna. I'm gonna stay in less me. I'm saying on the radio going a vow. Now, beer. I I. I agree with you. It is. Very important when we're talking about diet dietary requirements diet choices that we'd. Don't referred to it as a bigger, bigger.

00:24:11.62

Do you think because you're not doing anything wrong by so he meet because you were yourself at a certain point in your life where you're not. You're not ready to do that or that. You can't access the plant based diet or there's so many cultural issues towards a meeting could be embedded in our culture and it's kind of like looking pasta and acknowledging when it's the right time for you to start changing cos it's not. Not everyone can just suddenly go. Yep I'm gonna go vegan. It's not that simple. So, Ruby.

00:24:41.79

How long have you been big and then. I've been vegan for two years now. I've been veggie since I was nine, but added began, you eight years ago. My dad never looked back. Hmm. I mean, I have tried a vegan diet. I mean, I don't eat a lot of meat at all I mean, I was vegetarian for a very long time and I don't know why me because I think I completely goes your points. It is so much better for environmental reasons that is so much better in terms of like animals and things like that. But I found it quite difficult because it's quite

00:25:11.81

difficult to access die. And there are limited. Since as well, especially for years because the group being a gluten free vegan as possibly the worst. Yeah. One of the hardiest islanders. This gift. I think it's like. There's recently been some really scary fact, like a lot. There is a lot of controversy around the idea of like soy milk and stuff like that. And so if you look at Companies like out pro soya milk is sourced in the European Union. The carbon footprint is minimal and ninety eight percent of soybeans soybeans farmed, which is found in the Amazon is used. For animal

00:25:42.04

feed. So, like, so many arguments that. Try and go against veganism which really are for the animals feed. So it's reductive of their point by super important to recognise and act in twenty ten in the u.k. One per cent of people who loved and u.k. Said they were the getaway on a plant based diet and now. The survey. They took last year at six percent. People in the u.k. Think so good that people started to realise that we do need to make a change, do have to sacrifice some things that we think are yummy. Because, actually.

00:26:13.35

What does anyone else. Think about suggesting that show. Maybe. Or anything. I think it's. I think. Yes, the hard change that people don't like an especially kind of round here. There's more. The judgement towards it. But, yeah. I think it. I I do agree that it would be a good thing to do, but I liked on this. Change this case. You'd like to think about. Like I always thought me going vegan is not going to be like for me. It's not a big thing.

00:26:44.03

Something I'm happy to do, but it's really interesting to see how people like view, you after you told them. You're being him. I I will tell people. I'm vegan. They'd like physically recoiled. Alec. Oh, it's like. It's so crazy, especially in Suffolk, where there are farmers, people who believe in strong use of dairy and meat, which is where we are, but it is very interesting to see how people can think it's almost like an evil thing to be a vegan. It's just. He's crazy, too. Yeah. No, I agree. I do think it is important

00:27:14.09

to China. There is a big stigma as now about veganism. The evil and like crazy radicals like. Yeah. I think it's just. It's just a personal preferences and out and it does not impose. Anybody else. So I think it's important that if you're. A vegan and you're protesting or going against the sway than like actually let it be because at the end of the day. You're trying to save a life and you're not actually causing much civil disobedience or anything. So you'll be on. A vegan diet. Have you found that your much healthier, like,

00:27:44.39

Pow. The one hundred percent. Oh, my God. I felt great when had the first two months of going vegan mice. I had bad acne and my skin cleared up. I just felt I felt so much healthier. My dad always back pain when he had a really bad back pain, so plant power. Yes. Hey, Ruby. You mentioned earlier. The were previously vegetarian. What kind of a mate. You make the shift to be vegan and kind of what are the benefits of being vegan as opposed to being vegetarian. Yeah. So I think it's definitely a transition. I went veggie because

00:28:14.47

we had chickens and my mum. My mum killed one and she put it on the dinner for Sunday roast hunt over his leg. I was devastated. I went veggie. My dad's veggie since he was in his twenties, so that was an easy change. But being vegan. I watched a video by this. It being an activist. Could Earthling. He's great. He gives a really good educational responses to people going out to veganism and it was a video about how cows are treated dairy cows are treated in. Chocolate Industries and in u.k. farms and broke my

00:28:44.60

heart and I just something in me switched and I just couldn't do it any more. I went to showed my dad. My dad went, Oh, my God. And we both looked each other and we weren't we. We can't do this any more because at the end of the day and shock, horror. We, as a family because most of us eat vegan. We've saved a lot of money going vegan. Eat cart like beans and stuff and mentors are actually saving loads of money on stuff that meat is quite expensive. So that's contrary to. Quite a misconceived opinion as well. So all round veganism. Yeah,

00:29:14.80

absolutely. That's interesting. Do you think you spoke about how you went vegan kind of with your dad. Do you think it was easier to make that change your kind of continuous because there was someone close to you. That was also doing the same thing. Quite lucky and my family. My family butchers happily vegan, but I think I think I would have. I'm quite a determined. So if my dad or my family were like avid meat eaters. I still would've gone vegan are made or how I wanted to do it because I would have just done it, but

00:29:45.07

definitely having my dad with me in a sense. It was just nice being able to talk to someone about her and Mike. My mum did as well. Next year, so that was really nice. You gave it a go and it's nice actually being able to do that with someone else who I'm close to who I can kind of like not just be the only one in the family, which is a really nice and to follow that we're gonna put boys and the basil and by Fontaine is dc Just cos it's a great song and vegans. Love it. Yeah. Oh. Hi, guys, so far on Tuesday takeover. We've spoken about music

00:30:15.56

and the relationship of people we've spoken about latitude. Sign Language and veganism and now a group discussion. We will have is poking about the topic of social media and how that influences our lives as young people for me. I think. Social media is an amazing place and also a super damaging plays. I think it's done a lot for people's mental health body images and things like that I also think there's something and saying that. It's now. You can just go and find out anything and everything that's happening anywhere.

00:30:45.80

And I think there's no like it's crazy. How much we can know, through there. Means of social media and actually. I think people, especially young people. We need to kind of like be able to put down a phone is put down the internet and like. Look what he's outside. Look at a book. Look at and go for a walk cos I feel like social media and the rise in technology is almost trapping us and stopping us and be able to like open eyes fully to what's going around. Yeah. No, I fully agree. I mean, back when I was fourteen, fifteen and everyone

00:31:15.91

was on Instagram. I was so excited to get on, get involved. You know, be able to talk to her. I see everyone's new posts and everything, but that is because they have got a bit older and when lock down here. Back in twenty twenty through perfectly honest, I deleted myself from all social media because I just felt realised how much of your time. You spend just scrolling and flicking through posts than reading things and seeing images that. Do not do anything to help your mental health or to help your body image or anything. So I just. I realised for me personally. It was the move. I need

00:31:46.02

to take you myself a more social media just to get her. So have a fresh perspective on everything. And so I could focus more time on doing things that were more important to me than just scrolling through my phone. And I think you're right. It is it can be really damaging. I know that kind of you can go. Go on. You're fine. And then kind of spent hours and hours and just not kind of where the day's Finn and I'm the same. I've deleted social media in the past to kind of get myself back to and I'm

00:32:16.19

not saying that social media is a bad thing because personally. I love it. It's great for. We spoke earlier about her powers in a band. I think it's amazing for promotional material, easy to get stuff out there, engage with followers. But definitely there is that downside. And there's a whole other argument. I think about the limitations that could be put on social media. When we think back to the Gary Lineker.

00:32:46.92

scandal, but kind of the Freedom of speech and how that relates to the internet and how that relates to how PEOPLE SPEAK OVER Social media. Does anyone. Have you. Thoughts on social media while bastard does have its drawbacks. I think, actually, as a young person going into a world. That is becoming increasingly rapidly, like, filled with technology and especially as someone who wants to try and find a way in the art world. I think using social media as actually a really good place for people to.

00:33:17.23

Share their opinions and try and make a change because a lot of the change, does happen on line now and also with your Arts and arts in general. You can promote yourself. But I also think you, Connor. It's easy to fall into the trap of saying loads of stuff on social media. But then. Are you, actually. Transferring that into what you're doing in your life. I think social media is an easy scapegoat to have a front of who you are, but actually are you doing anything to act that

00:33:47.29

way. Yeah, I definitely agree with that. And I think since covid. I agree that the promotion of Arts and things very important. Like in conjunction with social media and stuff getting like that material out there, but I think since covid sort of live music events and of life experience and stuff. Have become more and more social media base. If you go to a concert. Nowadays, I took a nowadays. I've only been

00:34:17.31

to concerts nowadays. But you only saw of you watch you can basically watch it through someone else's phone screen. Who's in front of you and the phone screen in front of them through their camera is not really like. People are there in the moment. People have this need to prove that they're out enjoying a live experience. Whereas you know that like ten, twenty years ago. It was just about being back, listening to your favourite band. Really. I think

00:34:47.89

this might be controversial, but most. The gig. I go to the actual people that I see recording stuff is not usually people of our age group. Normally, that older people and they will stand there and record videos of the videos on it. It's just like I don't know what it is, but it's so weird that people do say they have to prove their gig. Or prove they are doing something I enjoy it in the moment in their life and look back on the memory that don't have to like record every single thing you do. Your life. Yeah. And I think that. Like saint apps, which

00:35:19.02

Memories are recorded on her. So there are a few so. That. That is sort of interrupting. Thought of their live performances of such as like I went to a concert earlier this year and She was doing a acoustic part of her sat there for your song and I could I could just hear people at the front, talking about how the notification gone out for be real and they were sort of shouting

00:35:49.23

up to her asking her to take the be real when she was trying to play. One of her songs. And it was quite like an emotional song for her. I think it was quite like just quite rude, but people were interrupting her concert etiquette has changed a lot since covid. It's definitely. I agree with that I think on one hand it is definitely may be damaging to the live music industry, but I think on the other hand. It's allowed for a way to

00:36:19.96

physically cherish memories of an amazing gig that. You've bent out last summer. I went to see Liam Gallagher. Knebworth. Aye, I reckon once a month. I look back at the videos that are kind of remember the day and I think, although I would have been able to remember it without the use of technology. I think almost starts. Ada than able to prolong the feeling of the day because in videos. You get kind of the energy

00:36:50.02

that comes across. You get kind of the sense of what happened on the day and he brings back memories and I think that's something that. Certainly, technology has assisted with. Although. As we have discussed it can be quite damaging for the kind of not being in the moment pisser. Yeah, definitely. I think that although my prior points. The fact that you can keep these memories for so long. He's like one of the positives,

00:37:20.11

but the drawbacks as well, kind of. I dunno. Change the atmosphere at Live events. I mean, I'd have anything. It does take away from the feeling at the event. If you're so focused on light looking in your foreign example, going back to last year. Last year. I was there and one of my absolute favourite memories. Snow Patrol are on and just as they started doing the number one song Chasing Cars started to absolutely hammer it down with rain. And obviously at a festival. It was so dry

00:37:50.19

and dusty, that year and the rain was such a refreshing moment. And we're all there. Everyone was just screaming at the top of their lungs. Absolutely soaking wet, but it was such a good memory, though. And I think having to focus your time on that I didn't bother filming that one because I was so I didn't want to have my. So focused on my screen and worrying about that I just wanted to sort of take in and enjoy the moment. And it was such an iconic moment for everyone and everyone's screaming away and it was such a good memory, but I think focusing it on looking at her screen just takes away from

00:38:20.27

the reality of what you really experience. But I think like. Is it any different to taking a photo because of where it is like on you when you look for your memories because we have less hard copies of stuff like I do definitely think people need to just get off the phone. He's a bit and enjoy life for, like here, so nice. I. What's up. What. Tom said, Like when I'm looking through my memories are photos and I see a fun video of me and my mates just base. You've had and having a great time like. It is just so lovely and I think I don't think that's a lovely side of social media and technology is not really any different from photo

00:38:50.79

or video mean. But it's like it's when it becomes your main focus when you start to do something when you're with your friends when you are at a gig or main focuses and to enjoy yourself. Enjoy the music, enjoy hanging out of your friends. It is. I've gotta get a good photo of this goat gig a brother to me. Jeez. Gotta go. Gotta go. Gotta get a good photo of this gig and a good video of me and my friends together. So they can prove they have had a good time. That's one. I think there's an issue. Um, yeah, definitely.

00:39:20.89

Hi, it's Tom, you've been listened to the Tuesday takeover was Thomas Mills. High School, one hundred take away. I'd like you to take away from this. Oh. His cherish the moment whether that's the music. You listen to the time. The festival, you out the people you're with. There is a limit to how much she should use your phone. Cherish the moment. One moment. I'd like to take away from this Tuesday takeover. Is that you as an individual. You matter. You can make a difference whether. how small or big that

00:39:51.10

be. You can change something and that is really important. Hi, it's Grace and one point. I'd like to take away from this experience is that of what of what Tom and sad. Just cherishing their memories and living in the moment. Instead of focusing on proving that you assign experience. Um, or proving that you. You do have fun and you do have a life. And go to some festivals

00:40:21.32

this year. Hi, I'm Lily and I take away from the takeover. I would encourage you to remember is. The Importance Of Music and people and the link between them to cherish memories. Jade and the one thing I want everyone to to take away from this is to consider other people aside from yourself. If you're sat there. You know he's able bodied person who hasn't faced many challenges or accessibility needs in your day to day life. Just take a moment to consider what it might be like. And how you could help somebody

00:40:51.41

else in your day to day, whether it be learning the alphabet in sign language. Whether it be considering the needs of others just think about that I would now like to introduce our final song which is murder on the dancefloor by Sophie Ellis Baxter, but. Bye, bye.
