Drummer Hates Jazz are the winners of this year's Battle of the Bands and go on as the opening act at the Music Festival on 12 July.
A crowd of nearly 200 squeezed into Kelvedon Institute to cheer on the five competing bands in what proved to be the highest standard of competition we have experienced to date. The other bands were Scorpio Toy from Tiptree and Colchester, Collision Theory from Kelvedon and Feering, and Colchester bands, Your Revolution and Her Morning Eyes. Each one of these bands would have been worthy winners.
Arthur Smith, who helped organise the contest, said: "This year was the highest level of music I've heard for Battle of the Bands. There was a really good atmosphere and the place was packed.” Judges included Charles Hedger, guitarist from Cradle of Filth, Alison Taffs, from the band Relay based in Witham, as well as Chris and Micky from Essex Rocks.
The band later commented, "There was tough competition. I never thought in a million years we would be doing this." |
