Report on Branded Night – 18th May 2012

Branded Night

Last night saw another successful BCTAspire Branded Night featuring members from our Guitar Club and JamNight sessions ~ ably supported by Teesside’s finest Bluegrass band The Alice Charmers. We’ve added some photos from the evening, so read the full post to see more.

The Branded Nights are held once a month in the Theatre Suite at Billingham Synthonia Club. To find out more about the Guitar Club and The Branded Events – CLICK HERE.

A big thank you to Andy, Carl and the two Marks (aka The Alice Charmers) for a thoroughly entertaining performance. Great songs, fantastic musicianship and all served up with healthy dose of good humour. Commiserations to Mark Davies, who despite his best efforts NOT to crumble to crowd pressure, eventually ended up performing an impromptu rendition of Duelling Banjos.

If you want to catch The Alice Charmers locally then visit them on their Facebook site.

BCT Aspire present our monthly ‘Branded’ show

The aim of the night is to support our own music programme giving local children and young people the chance to experience a good quality live music event on their own doorstep. Aiming to promote local talent as well as delivering a fantastic night for people of all ages.

Taking place at our very own Synthonia Theatre Suite on Friday 18th May 2012.

This promises to be a fun night for all involved and I’m sure were all going to be very proud of the achievements of our students from ages 8 to 16 years

This month’s line-up includes:

  • BCT Kids – The kids from our very own music programme coming together to rock out. Ranging from 11-16 the group epitomises the work of the programme and showcases the fantastic talent within our local youngsters.
  • The Alice Charmers (including Mark Davies)  – Bringing Bluegrass to the Brown Grass of Teesside. Great music played with fun and enjoyment… and a twist in the tale! [Website]
  • The Fix –Yet more fantastic local young talent, a group of guys who went down a storm at last year’s BCT BillFest event. They are definitely a band to watch for the future.  [Website]
