You'll
have to forgive the lateness of this blog post, I've spent the last
two weeks stockpiling tinned food and digging a bunker in the garden.
But
in between preparations for the ascendance of the God-King Of The
Oompa Loompas to leadership of the free world, TUNEICEF 2016 has been
taking shape and gaining momentum. For those of you unfamiliar with
what has become an annual tradition since 2013, my students and I
have been writing and recording songs for an album of original music
to be released digitally at Christmas with the proceeds going to
UNICEF. Check out our Bandcamp page:
So
far we've got acoustic pop from Phil Matthews (aka The Village),
French-inspired instrumental from local composer Zoe Felton, guitar
pop from those lovable scamps The Formidable Ale society, a
cod-Satriani instrumental from yours truly and standout metal from
One S0ul and The Relinquished.. and this is before student tracks are
added!
Thanks
again must go not just to students but also Matt Chubb, Wayne Cooper
and Amanda Williams for contributing vocals as well as drum teacher
and local legend Steve Ward for his drum tracks.
