Rock bands at Fairkytes

Don't miss the chance to see the last band standing at Fairkytes

​The Young Bloods - will this be the Last Band Standing?

Residents of all ages will next week get the chance to see some of the borough's most musically talented youngsters rock-out in a battle to be the 'Last Band Standing'.

The highly-anticipated music event is the first of its kind for young people in Havering, and will see six bands compete against each other and showcase their eclectic talents to be crowned the winner at Fairkytes Arts Centre​ on Friday 2 May.

 

The event, from 7pm to 10pm, will see young people between the ages of 13 and 18 years old in bands perform two songs each.

 

The bands include The Broken Strings - who's influences include My Chemical Romance and Green Day, The Walking Method - who describe their music as fast-paced rock and roll, The Young Bloods - with members who have performed at the Molly Fest festival, Uprising - with upbeat punk tunes, Anonymous - who prefer gentle, slow rock, and GP5 - who will display their version of alternative pop rock tunes.

 

The winners of the competition will be given three days in a local recording studio at myplace community centre to further enhance their talents and give them the opportunity to record their own material.

 

Tickets are selling fast and cost £5 or £4.50 concessions. They can be bought from Fairkytes or by calling 01708 456308.
