Barfly

Youth Music Week presents Pete and the Pirates… This year, Youth Music Week is going on the road with Pete and the Pirates to give young musicians the opportunity to play at Barfly venues across the country. And as if that wasn’t enough, Vincent Vincent from Vincent Vincent and the Villains will be playing his first solo gig at the Borderline as part of the Youth Music Week celebrations. Think you’re good enough to play with the professionals? Upload your demo now to www.youthmusicweek.org.uk  The best bands will be invited to audition in London on 11^th October in front of a panel of pro judges led by Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly and Austin Daboh, Music Co-Ordinator at 1Xtra. The deadline for submissions is 30^th September and all entrants must aged 14-18 to take part. Pete and The Pirates are Thomas Sanders (vocals), Pete Hefferan (vocals and guitar), David Thorpe (guitar), Pete Cattermoul (bass) and Jonny Sanders (drums). Their music has been described by the NME as ‘perfect pop without the pretence’, and their debut album ‘Little Death’ is out now on Stolen Records.  Now in its third year, Youth Music Week is the national celebration of young people’s music making. Over autumn half term every year, hundreds of performances, workshops, showcases and taster sessions for young people take place in every region in England and Wales. The activities are led by Youth Music’s network of 22 Youth Music Action Zones which partner with local venues and professional musicians, dancers, visual artists and young musicians to celebrate their hard work and successes from the year. From beat boxing to playing the oboe, there’s something to see, hear and try out at each and every Action Zone. Check out www.youthmusicweek.org.uk to find out what’s going on in your area.
