2010 catch up!!!

RIGHT! so one thing i haven't mentioned is that i am a 3rd year full time university student at Westminster university, doing a Bmus music performance degree. It's there that I've met a whole range of very very talented singers and musicians and I've managed to put a band together. Although over the last couple of years the line up has changed a lot. I now feel i have a set of musicians who are dedicated and very talented, so I'm happy!! But to be brutally honest leading a band can be an absolute nightmare, and any singers reading this i would love to hear how you've found it...organising, motivating, etc...A lot of singers i know have had lots of problems with trying to organise and lead bands, but i suppose leading a team of people can be hard in any situation because it can put a lot of pressure on you...but i do have to say, when the outcome at the end does turn out really great...ITS ALL WORTH WHILE!!! I'm now going to show you a couple clips of me and my band doing our thaang!!!...so you can get a little taster of what we're about.

This gig was at Proud galleries in Camden in september 2010

The bands made up of 7 people including myself, the line up includes bass (Damien langkamer), drums (James Ellen), keys (zuri), guitar (Greg Madge, saxaphone (Joshua Cutler) and one backing vocalist (chloe). All of which i met at uni except for my keys player Zuri and saxophone player Joshua Cutler, who i met through a project called What Next, which was a 3 week project in the summer of 2009, in which we were put into bands and we had to create songs to then perform on the main stage at somerset house, supporting Ms Dynamite, Chipmunk and The Wombats. In my band was a few of the musicians which are in my current band and a very talented singer named Katy B, who you may well of heard of, as she's blown up for the big time!! gwaaaarn katy haha.
Here we are!!!
