What we didTapped into the statistic that there is an average of two suicides a week in British prisons.At the same time, Walk the Line, the Johnny Cash biopic was receiving much mediaattention. So Unity suggested staging a Johnny Cash style prison gig. Originally wewanted to feature Babyshambles, the voice of disenfranchised youth. Controversial butrelevant as the the brothers of both Drew and Steven Street committed suicide. Heavilylobbied the government - Jack straw said no to Doherty, but yes to gig. We brought onboard Dirty Pretty Things and The Enemy, bands spanning the relevant age group, and unitystaged first ever indie/rock gig in a British prison 13. unity 14.
