Battle of the Bands!

BSCS students, Joel Ip and Sam Beaumont, are are organising a ‘Battle of the Bands’ to help them to raise £3000 to fund a three week educational trip to South India in August 2011. They plan to make a difference by participating in a building project to benefit a local school and also to take on a trek.

Bradley Stoke Matters is sponsoring the event by providing the £200 First Prize money. In addition to the cash, the winning band / performer will be given the oppotrtunity to play a 45 minute set at the Bradley Stoke Community Festival 2011.

All local bands and performers are encouraged to enter the Bradley Stoke Battle of the Bands 2010. This could be your chance to promote your talent and help your band/act become a household name! Jo says “Whether you are a solo performer, a band looking for an opportunity to perform, or a group of friends wanting to share their music, please come and join us for what should be a great event”.

Application forms can be downloaded from the dedicated website www.battlebands.org.uk. The first stage of the competition is an audition, where competitors will be asked to perform live in front of judges. From the auditions, in October 2010, the panel of judges will select a maximum of 8 acts to perform live on stage at the battle final on 6th November 2010, where the audience will be able to vote for their favourite band and select the overall champion. Do make a diary note of this date, as it should be a great celebration of local music talent.
