Local Bands Go Head To Head in Battle of Bands
November 1st, 2010
Nine young local bands will battle it out at 7pm on Saturday 6th November before a live audience who will vote for their favourite band and select the overall champion.
The evening promises a memorable event as these young talented musicians are bursting with enthusiasm and excitement. For recently formed bands Motivate, Empty Within and the Students this will be their first gig, while other entries like Cassette have been together for over two years and have a string of successful gigs. One thing they all share is a vision for success:
“Our dream is to play to thousands of people and they then sing our songs back to us!” pan Arcadia
The winning band will be invited to play a 45 minute set, centre stage at the Bradley Stoke Community Festival in June 2011, courtesy of Southern Brooks Community Partnership and a cash prize of £200 courtesy of Bradley Stoke Matters Magazine.
All monies raised will be used by the event organisers, Sam Beaumont and Joel Ip, – two 15 year olds at Bradley Stoke Community School to fund an educational trip to India in August 2011 where they will be working on a community project as well as exploring the country and culture.
