Other Acts: No Redemption/Thornleaf and Beyond the Blaze
Venue: The Victoria
Well. this was a rather unexpected gig. Phone call received at 7.30pm from James (No Redemption/Thornleaf) asking if we'd like to support them at The Vic. We were totally unaware of the Band of The Land competition and they had entered it, simply instead we thought we'd be providing a musical interlude.
We arrived at the venue within half an hour to be told we'd been entered into the Band of the Land 2011 competition!
Lots were drawn, and we pulled second! First to entertain were Beyond the Blaze a group of young lads from Coventry, who apparently had only been together for a couple of months.. All original material and loads of enthusiasm.
We were up second with: Forever, Je Ne Regrette Rien, At Seventeen, and others.
No Redemption/Thornleaf went on third and generally blew everyone away.
Time for judges consultation was met with much mutual patting of heads and drinkies.. Then the winners were announced.
It was decided that all bands were good enough to go through to the semi-finals, with the overall winners of the night being Beyond the Blaze!!!
Watch this space for news on the competition!!
