Back to Gwent WideWinning Band Visits Recording Studio
An exciting development took place recently for the winners of the Road Safety Music Challenge 2008.
Part of their prize was the opportunity to visit a recording studio (Solar Studios, Blackwood) and record their winning song live, and for it to be played on Nation Radio.
The winners were from Abertillery Comprehensive School and their band was called “The Really Wild” with a song entitled “The Drunken Journey” The members of the band are:-
Michael Edwards – Drum Kit
Jordan Bool – Bass guitar and trombone
Alexandra Jones – Saxophone
Josh Fish – Cornet
Matthew Westcott – Guitar
Alexander Read – Guitar
Lauran Hodges – Vocals
Eleanor Phillips - Vocals
In December two members of the band Alex Jones and Lauren Hodges travelled to Caernarfon in North Wales to take part in the All Wales Anti Drink-Drive Christmas Launch. They received a prize of £500 for winning the Gwent entry for the Multimedia Competition which they hope to put towards new electronic equipment for the Music Department at their School.
Gwent’s Road Safety Music Challenge 2009 and the Multimedia Competition is already being prepared and all young people from 11-25 are invited to take part, whether through their school, youth group, church group or sports group. So if you are interested please contact me using the details below and be part of a successful, enjoyable and worthwhile cause.
