A New Year and another Superband


 An amazing start to the Centre Stage Final as 18 Rockschool drummers took the stage and gave a tremendous performance of their talents ably conducted by Isaac Haywood. Then to a crescendo of noise last years winners Glassbody joined them on stage soon to be followed by the contestants:-
Icarus, Jacobean Ruff, Roman Bison, The Imports, Headwire, Pony & Trap, Amazing Scuba Divers, The Puppeteers, King No-One, Quentin's Basement and  Yo Preston who entertained us for the next 2 hours all hoping to claim the prize to play at Leeds and Reading Festival 2013. All these young bands have raised over £1000 each for Martin House Children's Hospice



During the interval, whilst the Judges made their deliberations The Mexanines (winners 2011) gave a special performance with their new line-up. Eventually the results were in and all the bands were waiting with baited breath until  they were announced.
The Runners up were Jacobean Ruff
The Winners were King No-One who received their certificate to a roar of approval from the audience.
Centre Stage registration for 2014 is open in September 2013.
We will let you know how much was collected for Martin House when all the money has been collect

We wish all the entrants well as they clearly all have a great future and Congratulations yet again to King No-One. We are already looking forward to next years competition.
