The school hall was jammed on Wednesday, 9th March for Battle of the Bands. Eight bands played three songs each. Hugh O'Rourke (TY) describes the scene.
The Battle of the Bands was a mini company that we put on, on Wednesday, 9th of March. It was a great night and a brilliant experience. All the bands who played were great and everyone had a great night. Our company made a lot of money and we enjoyed the whole experience. The bands who played were: Zero, Love notes and ashes (the winners), Idle Time, Robert Jordan, Mr. Grieves, Subline, Sorno Jets and Hello Tasty.
The Battle of the Bands mini company was: Jake Regan (TY), Hugh O'Rourke (TY), Craig Derham (TY), Aaron Sheridan (TY), Peadar Charles (TY) and John Nolan (TY). (Click on thumbnails to open an enlarged version of photo. ))
