The First Flight Crew are NSW’s only hip hop group comprising entirely of people that identify as having a disability ranging from Down Syndrome to Autism. The crew create all original music with Aussie hip hop legend Morganics and the group is managed by sliced bread attraction’s Alison Richardson.

Over the 3 years since they were formed they have performed all across Sydney from Bondi to Bankstown, have appeared on national TV and were the face of the NSW Don’t DIS my ABILITY campaign in 2010.

Now in rehearsals, the FFC are cooking up another track with Morganics and brushing up their show stopping routine for the Flight Paths performances that will take place on:

• Sat 12 November at Belmore Park, (opp Central Station), Eddy Ave
• Sat 19 November at Town Hall steps, George St

See you on the streets!

“The eyes on you are very different outside the of disability sector. It is so liberating and expanding. It is not a small thing it opens a new internal and external world instantly.” Jen Moxham (Digby’s mother)

Nam left the venue with one word to Alison, “More”, Chris had to be dragged from the dance floor after dancing solid for three hours, Digby said that this was what he was born to do.  Hopefully there will be more opportunities for these guys in the hip hop arena in the future!

Some feedback on Bakehouse:

“I really liked the caravan, the music and the puppets. I also liked playing all the musical instruments and trying on all the puppets and also doing what I did in the caravan. Thank you for the great time I had at CarriageWorks.”  Monica Lantin (student from JJ Cahill High School).

“I like it because it was fun, it was fantastic. It was great Break Dancing. I feel it was a bloody awesome week. All the tutors are great people. They make me feel so happy. I learnt how to make people laugh with the masks. I like to show other people the puppets.” Digby Webster (participant).

A personal thank you to everyone who was involved in Bakehouse either as a participant, tutor, host, volunteer, mail stuffer, cake baker, support worker, carer, parent, artist, friend.  Without your support Bakehouse would not have been the event that it was.  Much love, Al xxoo

Last Saturday & Sunday an eager group of Chris Brown & 50 cent wannabes (how’s that for street cred) pushed away the Bingo tables and busted some moves with Aussie B Boy Morganics.  T-shirts and sweat bands were thrown as video artist Finton Mahony gathered footage for an original clip the guys will make to go along with their original song, The Wild Ones.

Stay turned for what the group get up to next week and an up coming gig!  Yes, already!
