Would you like to do this again? ‘1,000,000,000%’ Pulp Fiction isn’t just a movie—it’s a cinematic adrenaline shot straight to the heart. Directed by Quentin Tarantino, this 1994 cult classic weaves together a series of interlocking crime stories drenched in razor-sharp dialogue, dark humour, and bursts of stylized violence..........
So began our recent project at HMP Wormwood Scrubs began with an electrifying performance of iconic songs from films such as Trainspotting, Pulp Fiction, and Saturday Night Fever. With surtitles projected at the back of the Chapel, the men were able to set aside their lyric sheets and fully immerse themselves in a powerful and committed performance. The Chapel was alive with energy, filled with staff members and men from the wings, all sharing in a palpable sense of positivity and celebration. We were privileged to be joined by four exceptional professional musicians—Tim Rose (guitar), Sam Burgess (bass), Rob Taggart (piano), and Luke Tomlinson (drums)—whose talents provided a dynamic foundation for the men's remarkable performance. Feedback from the men below: ‘Being in the choir makes me so happy and helps a lot while being in Prison. It gives us hope that there is good in this world…' ‘Please request for more choir groups to take place more often’ ‘We feel better about our situation and makes me want to live’ ‘I enjoyed everything, the people the bonding’ ‘Benefit is to interact with others you wouldn’t normally talk to’ ’Self confidence, self esteem’ ‘Everyone’s efforts towards this project has motivated me… I like the energy it gives everybody’ ‘I’d like to do this on the outside’ ‘It brings you towards God and makes a true bond and love for everyone’ ‘I’ve never really spoken to anyone on the wing before. This cheered me up and I slept better' ‘I had real fun reminding me I don’t need to be high or drunk to sing and dance… this is just what I needed’ ‘I am going to find something like this on the outside to help me’ Many thanks to everyone involved - especially the men for their enthusiasm and commitment to this project.
