MOBO Award winner ready to rock MidKent College!
The 18 year old, who won Best Newcomer at the MOBO Awards in 2008, has seen the lead single from his debut album 'I Am Chipmunk' peak at no. 6 in the UK Singles Chart, and it currently remains in the Top 40.

**Kelly Osbourne, who was due to DJ has had to cancel a number of appearances in the UK at short notice in order to return to America to meet filming commitments with her family. Unfortunately she won't be attending 'Access All Areas'**

In-between soaking up some top tunes why not take a look round our brand-spanking-new £86m campus, fill up in either of our two massive food courts or take part in a range of cool workshops?

Spray yourself a masterpiece at the graffiti workshop, learn how to mix and beat-match at the DJing workshop, master some moves at the street dance workshop... or just chill with your mates at this massive event to remember!

****KELLY OSBOURNE****

Kelly Osbourne burst onto our TV screens at 15 in the Emmy Award Winning MTV series The Osbournes.

In September 2007, she made the bold decision to take on four completely different projects in television, radio, musical theatre and fashion – and went on to win awards and recognition for each one.

With new challenges in the pipeline for 2009, Kelly looks set to break her own unique record with projects including a cameo in a BBC drama, a film role and being reunited with her family for a variety television show.

Kelly is well known for her party-style DJ sets and will be sure to get the crowds jumping!

****CHIPMUNK****

For someone who's just 18 Chipmunk has already achieved a lot - in 2008 he received a MOBO award for Best Newcomer, an Urban Music Award for Best Newcomer, and a nomination for Best Rapper at the American BET Awards, not to mention having racked up millions of plays across his MySpace and Youtube channels - and all when he was just 17.

His latest single Diamond Rings went straight in at #6 on the UK Top 40!

****KID BRITISH****

KID BRITISH create their own noise by mixing a bit of this with a bit of that and ending up with one big fat MANKY sandwich. Take a tasty shank of old school ska and dancehall, a generous twist of indie, a light splash of reggae, and garnish with a juicy slice of electro pop - voila! These lads whip up a tune as easily as Jamie Oliver making a meal out of the contents of a student's fridge - you still with me?

****UNDERGROUND HEROES****

Their ska-injected, punk-tastic melodies make them instantly recognisable as the freshest sound to have soaked onto the indie-pop scene for… well … a bloomin’ long time! Could Underground Heroes be the best thing since sliced bread? We certainly think so!

****CYANTIFIC****

Dance floor legend Cyantific will be playing a 60 min set of upfront Drum n' Bass in our fully kitted-out dance arena!

In a strangely blurred area of South West London on Google maps, there are reports of tech, funk and breaks well above normal levels. In regular DJing trips outside of the compound Cyantific has leaked more and more space age material. If you don't know by now, hold tight, the truth is out there, and it's coming to a dancefloor near you!

****JORDAN PARKINSON****

Jordan is a rising young talent, already well known in the south east and on the verge of signing to a major label. Jordan is one of those acts you remember where you first saw... at MidKent College! On the day he'll be performing with his full band of musicians (most of whom play alongside major, pro acts including Take That)

****RoCKS oFF RoSS (TAP'N'TIN RESIDENT DJ)****

Often seen behind the decks at London Mean Fiddler, Camden Barfly, Koko, Infinity Club and Tap’N’Tin, RoCKS oFF RoSS has also DJ'd to support The Charlatans, Bez, Supergrass, Dirty Pretty Things, Graham Coxon, Blood Red Shoes and many more!

****TWISTED DJs****

Twisted DJs like to bass your face in, burst your eardrums with high filtered beats, and burn your musically dope brain with wobbled beats!

Expect a set of bass-fueled, electronic fun, smothered with the latest heavyweight donkey kicks and club smashers from all across the board!

Twisted DJs originate from Maidstone, Kent, and have established great respect, initiating the rebirth of the Indie/Electro club scene with their own night, Twisted.
These boys have played alongside the likes of EROL ALKAN, CASPA, RUSKO, MYSTERY JETS, KISSY SELL OUT, CALVIN HARRIS and SINDEN, and recently returned from playing out at IBIZA ROCKS!

DON'T GET IT GET TWISTED!

****KRISSY AND THE JACKDAWS****

Krissy and the Jackdaws combine blues-rock drums, folk guitar and country harmonies to create a sound all of their own. Recent winners of the Tap’N’Tin’s Battle of the Bands, this Kentish threesome are taking the county by storm.

****PHOEBE PEEK****

Local lass Phoebe Peek is GOING TO BE BIG!!!! Just remember you heard it here first! Her self-penned folktatsic tunes are sure to knock your socks off with their soft vocals and touching lyrics.

Mid Kent College of Higher and Further Education

**THE LOWER LINES TRUST**

MidKent College is relocating its Medway Campuses to Prince Arthur Road in Gillingham from September 2009. As part of the planning obligations attached to the construction of the new campus, the College was required to acquire the Lower Lines and the land to the East; to design and construct a park there; at a total cost of close to £7 million. The park is being designed by
RPS and will comprise of repairs to the Lower Lines and opening them up to the public; a large woodland area; a central glassed plateau and two children’s play areas. Medway is applying for World Heritage Site status for the dockyards and the surrounding areas, including the Lower Lines. This park is a key component of the bid and needs to be seen as a good quality, well managed park that is an asset to a potential World Heritage Site. The College is setting up an independent trust to own and operate the park. This trust will be a company limited by guarantee with seven trustees (each of whom will also be a member – a part owner of the trust. At present four trustees, including the chair have been appointed directly by the college. John Spence OBE, DL – chair, Lindsay Morgan, Jane Jones and Eileen Bartlett. In future all appointments, all appointments will be made by the Trust but the college will retain the right to agree to three of the appointments, Medway Council will agree one and English Heritage will agree one. A well established local “friends” group for the park exists – The Friends of the Admiral’s Garden. They are a non-political group.

corr Kelly Osbournes gona be there. Gona have to do some avoiding.
