Swindon's academy of music and sound partnership with Swindon New College marked a successful year.
“The stars inspire the students to take the same journey that they have.’’
Academy for four years has been going on and the center manager Steve Leigh in the Swindon area itself is a famous guitarist, singer/songwriter.Basement Jaxx Steve welcome center is happy to be back. Drummer and percussionist Swindon Academy are regular visitors.
Steve said: “The afternoon event is pretty casual, basically any local musician whatever age is invited to take a look at our Bentley Centre facility. It would be of interest to anyone looking for a rock and pop performance course right up to Degree level, those who need low cost rehearsal rooms, people considering private tuition, those who might appreciate a ProTools recording software course and finally a holiday rock camp for under 16s.’
“In the evening we're putting on a live performance by academy teachers followed by a short talk by Bruce Findlay, manager of 1980s stars Simple Minds, and ending with a performance by Tugg and Oli of Basement Jaxx....wow!’’
