Case Studies

GC STUDENTS BRING THE HOUSE DOWN AT GLOUCESTER GUILDHALL Will, Marcello and Kate, who are all studying music at GC recently excelled with their live project, ‘Past, Present and future’, a gig they put on at the Gloucester Guildhall. The aim of the event was to showcase bands, DJs, singers and musicians over the age of 14 who are either; interested in becoming a GC student, current GC students and ex GC students who have gone on to progress in their musical careers post GC. A stunning line up of raw talent rocked the house at the Guildhall gig held on 15th March, the students secured a brilliant line-up of bands and performers of all ages for the event, even some as young as 14! The stunning selection of talented musicians included bands such as: Stereo Influence, Swift Manouver, The Acrylics, Feed the Moose and winners of the search for new talent, Strange Things Frighten Us, plus a showcase of current students at Gloucestershire College. Course Leader Lee Holder said: “We had a fantastic line-up with an audience of 350, the atmosphere was amazing. The students even had a few surprises up their sleeves for the event. Being the same day as Red Nose Day, the student organisers performed a special song at the gig as a tribute to the charity in a bid to raise money for the worthwhile cause.” The gig which was a free event raised £50 which was donated to Comic Relief.
