GRAHAM WATSON JOINS NICK CLEGG FOR BRISTOL JAMMING SESSION

7.30.16pm BST (GMT +0100) Thu 28th May 2009

Graham Watson, Stephen Williams, Barbara Janke & Nick Clegg join the REMIX team

European Parliamentary elections candidate Graham Watson has joined Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg on a visit to Bristol.

Mr. Watson met the Leader for a tour of Colston Hall, alongside Leader of the Liberal Democrats on Bristol City Council Barbara Janke & MP for Bristol West Stephen Williams.

The visit - which took place on Wednesday 27 May - saw the team gather together with representatives from REMIX, a Bristol-based scheme offering music-making opportunities to young people.

During the visit, Nick Clegg & Mr. Watson joined several young people for an impromptu performance.

Speaking shortly afterwards, Mr. Watson said:

"It's been very enjoyable touring Colston Hall & joining the musicians alongside Nick today, though I fear we needn't give up our day jobs!

It's fantastic to see so many young Bristolians here getting involved.

This is exactly the kind of scheme I have supported as Bristol's Member of the European Parliament."
