The App is available from the 15th July 2013 it is available on iOs. I reviewed it and was pleasantly surprised. It is a very easy app for children to use, beating the bongos and dancing around it certainly is a fun app mind out children the adults will also be able to have fun with this app. You can actually be fully immersed in the game by uploading a picture of your face and record voices to a character and join in the fun with Carrie and David Grant.

This inspirational teacher wants to keep Lewisham and the young people safe.
I have rarely been to an event which was as moving, as profound and as energising as this 10,000 Hands (not sure what you call it!). What you have managed to do and what you are doing is absolutely inspiring. I felt so proud to be part of Lewisham and I know that everyone else felt this, too. It will stay with me for a long time and I know that it will impact on every single person that was there - and on the wider community, too. Jan Shapiro, Lewisham Education Consultant

This is one of the best music documentaries I have ever seen and I met up with three movie goers who del the same way as me. We can't wait to see it again. And Jimmy cliff is s revelation, We don't feel that race should have come into it. http://muscleshoalsmovie.com/
Located on the banks of the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding ground for some of the most creative and defiant music in American history. Under the spiritual influence of the "Singing River" as Native Americans called it, the music of Muscle Shoals is some of the most important and resonant of all time. At its heart is Rick Hall who founded FAME Studios. Overcoming crushing poverty and staggering tragedies, he brought black and white musicians together to create music that would last for generations while also giving birth to the unique ‘Muscle Shoals sound’ and the rhythm section ‘The Swampers’.
In this movie legendary artists including Aretha Franklin, Greg Allman, Bono, Clarence Carter, Jimmy Cliff, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Wilson Pickett, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge, Steve Winwood and others bear witness to the magnetism and mystery of Muscle Shoals and why it remains a global influence today. http://muscleshoalsmovie.com/
Seeking a brighter future in megacity Manila, Oscar Ramirez and his family flee their impoverished life in the rice fields of the northern Philippines. But the sweltering capital's bustling intensity quickly overwhelms them, and they fall prey to the rampant manipulations of its hardened locals. Oscar catches a lucky break when he's offered steady work for an armored truck company and gregarious senior officer Ong takes him under his wing. Soon, though, the reality of his work's mortality rate and the murky motives of his new partner force Oscar to confront the perils he faces in his new job and life.

A battle rages in East Africa, where crosses replace guns and shouts of prayer roar louder than missiles. American evangelical Christians have chosen Uganda to wage their unholy war. http://www.godlovesuganda.com/
This film is about two young boys who live in the inner city and are left alone to fend for themselves all summer after their mothers are taken away by the police. I speak to The Director George Tillman Jr who told me how hard it is to get African American films funded, featuring Alicia Keys who became a friend during filming and helped raise money for the film and Jennifer Hudson this film had a lot of people in tears. Lets hope this film gets the recognition that it deserves.

Febooary Challenge
Febooary, the month where Audioboo users record a boo for every day of the month is back by popular demand! We have built a list of questions, all based on historical events that happened on each day in February. All you have to do is answer them in your own way. It can, of course, lead on to a entirely different train of thought, which is good.
If you have something different or better to say - then say it! We love to listen.
Remember to tag your boos #febooary and most importantly have fun.
1) Freedom Day USA - When have you felt most free?
2) Groundhog Day - What sort of day would be the worst to repeat over and over again?
3) The Day the Music Died. The tragic plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valance and the Big Bopper happened on Feb 3rd 1959. Immortalised by Don McLean in American Pie, do you remember it?
4) Rosa Parks Birthday. One brave woman symbolised defiance of inequality with quiet dignity. Has Obama's America come all the way to race equality now?
5) National Weather Persons Day. Why are we so obsessed with the weather and those that deliver it?
6)Witangi day. On this day in 1840 New Zealand signed this treaty, a founding document of the country. Did the English give the Maori a fair deal?
7) Humanist, Philosopher, Lawyer, Author, Sir Thomas Moore's Birthday 1478. He coined the word "Utopia". What's your idea of utopia?
....More questions from the 8th Feb :)
