Happy 2012 everyone !
Just an update really to let everyone know where we are at the moment.
In November APEX were asked to perform for 10-15 mins at an Autism Event at New County Hall, Truro, on 30th November to celebrate a visit by Nan Carle. Unfortunately we had no money or time left for a workshop but were asked if we could appear no matter how small the group. So, David, Eddie and Siobhan, who were already going to the event, agreed to sing their songs with Tony and Jacqui providing the backing. We had an amplified rehearsal one afternoon at home with the PA and then we were there, being commissioned to perform live. Luckily it went down really well and we got some great comments and appreciation. Have a look at the pics (taken by Lloyd Burchell – thanks Lloyd)
“…the band was just brill and such good feedback – l have told the national NAS to use you at National Events” Scott Hall, Commissioning Officer, Autism, Adult Care and Support.
There was a lot of talk and ideas forwarded that night about fundraising for the future – that coupled with requests from participants, old and new, to perform live or perform again, from David, Eddie and Siobhan. So, we’re now fundraising for APEX LIVE – “a rehearsal, composition, performance, DJ and VJ skills-based programme, enabling the participants the chance to promote their songs to a wider audience, learning technical and amplification skills alongside digital media/publicity tuition”.
Watch this space !!
The APEX performance was first class. I am still singing all three songs in my mind. Yours is a performance that deserves professional attention and inclusion in the musical concerts of local and national bands. Thanks for continuing to develop your musical talents and to share your voices – Outside and In! Happy to contribute to any fundraising objectives.
