'A Song For Joe': Rapper's plea for youth to vote

One thing all of the parties are trying hard to do in 2015 is win over the illusive 'youth vote'. It is thought just 44% of 18 to 24-year-olds had their say at the 2010 general election, compared with 75% of those over 55.

What's the problem? Apathy? Indifference? Mistrust?

Franko Fraize, a musician and rapper from Thetford, has written a song for 5 live covering this very issue, called "A Song for Joe."

He performed it outside a cafΓ© in Norwich market, as part of Afternoon Edition's broadcast from the Norwich South constituency.

This clip is originally from Afternoon Edition as part of 5 live's General Election coverage.
