Gig Night returned on Thursday 8th February and it was bigger and better than ever with our rock, pop, indie and jazz musicians leaving the audience wowed and in high spirits!
We enjoyed some absolutely outstanding vocal, drum, guitar and piano covers of songs by Oasis, Bruce Springsteen, Radiohead and Greenday among many others. Henry, River, Sean, Zeb and Joe gave a brilliant performance of 'Find the Light', written by Henry; and Charlie and George also performed their own composition of 'Bamboo' using looper pedals.
Toby and Jon-Christopher's Drum Off against each other was a definite highlight, as was Henry's version of Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen, not to mention all our other musicians who really put their all into their performances - you could see they really enjoyed being up on the stage having the opportunity to perform in their own style - and Harriet who was an excellent compere.
Toby in U6, along with Mr Shephard-Blandy, one of our parents and the Director of Illuminate Design, a specialist lighting, sound, staging and AV products, provided all of the sound and lighting for the event – which really transformed the Assembly Hall! Henry in Form 5 was the official photographer for the event, and you can see some of his shots in the album below.
Thanks to everyone who came along to support the event and our musicians, we hope you had a fantastic evening!
