Due to Covid lockdowns this year our BandQuest performance was cancelled and we have had to record our bands to submit this for the competition. 

We were lucky enough to have had Steve Fowler allow us to use his studio, Cannon Hill Studios, to record the audio and video for our performances.

There was a lot of set up with the bands but once we were under way with recording, each band got to play through their songs twice and the best take will be sent away.

Branches of Steel; Devon, Corban, William and Felix recorded first. They played Sweet Home Alabama and their own original song.

Next was Bittersweet; Juno, Jasmine, Lucy, Arielle and Piper. They performed Behind these Hazel Eyes.

Finally performing were JellyBreens; Olive, Lily, Aki, Stanton and Makayla. They played Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Don't Forget Your Roots.

Thanks to all the tutors who have spent numerous hours practicing with the bands, Rhys for helping with band set up, Graeme for transport and Steve for recording and allowing us to use your studio.

We will share the recordings from the day when they have been sent to us.
