Sounds in the City 09 - by Kirsty Brailsford

Once again it’s almost time for the annual Sounds in the City gig and this year promises to be one of the best ever! The team are busy preparing for the evening of music, which will be held in the HUBs on Tuesday 24^th March from 7.00pm. The event will consist of six bands: Drunken Penguins – a three-piece band from Wakefield; Living For Today – who formed in 2007, and who have three other gigs around Sheffield in March; Serpentine; Simple Delivery – who have recently changed their name to Goodnight Anita; Sleepwalker – who describe their music as rock/metal; and The Regulars.

As always, all bands have been recruited from local secondary schools or through Myspace, although, interestingly, there has been little response from female bands/bands with female members this year, so the boys will be dominating the stage!

Sounds in the City is an important event, as it provides young local musicians with the opportunity to showcase their music in front of friends and people from the local community, as well as allowing them to gain valuable on-stage experience.

The team will sell tickets for the live music event for £1 each, the proceeds of which will be re-invested in Hallam Volunteering.
