I know that Billy Bragg from Jail Guitar Doors is another music charity but he only install guitars in the prisons. They've just opened up a US branch of the same charity, so I think we're poised.

Our big challenge at the moment is to be able to show to MOJ (Ministry of Justice), evidence of impact on offenders. We have evidence that we are actually making changes in using the whimsical activity like music. If we can show that we have a direct and positive impact, then we can probably expand our programs.

QSM Fantastic, last question. What is in the pipeline?

RH Well, at the moment we're doing a project in HMP ISIS in South East London and we've just finished two albums in Bronzefield and Feltham this year alone. We are going along to Ford where your good self will be joining us and we're looking forward to seeing you at Ford open prison. After that, we'll go to Swinfen Hall up in the Midlands which is a YO (young offender) out there. It’s possible that for the back end of the year we’ve got two projects down in Wales, Parc and Swansea. After that we’ll just have to see where it goes from there. We are eternally looking for funding as that basically underlines how all of our activities are funded. All of our projects are subject to the funds coming in.
