WSRP Juniors Summer Show 2009 gig review:

TANGY JU JU SAUCE played a tight performance of Enter Sandman with a good vocal performance from Joe, Danny playing solid drums and nice guitar playing from Harry. It was heavy and a great opener for the show. The band members have shown that they have improved their skills over the term. Well done to them.

With the next act we had a classic example of what can happen at a WSRP.... One member of MUTZ NUTZ couldn't make it on the day, so before the show the Juniors were asked by Jez if anyone knew how to sing What I've Done by Linkin Park. Oakley, one of the rising starts of the juniors said he would give it a go. With a bit of frantic learning a rehearsing backstage the band said they would perform it. The performance was a great group effort and Oakley stayed on to sing How You Remind Me with the band. Dani sang and played really well with Alfie playing effortlessly on lead guitar. With new Junior students Joe and Harry playing really well in their first show. The whole band sounded fantastic.

One of the great moments of the show was when DEAN AND THE DEANETTES took to the stage. They played a Stiff Dylan's song followed by Complicated by Aril Lavigne. The first song was an excellent example of the pool of talent we have at WSRP. Suzi began singing the song with confidence and stage presence. Eppi produced a great bit of musicianship with a fabulous drum fill then coming in on backing vocals perfectly. She sang and played drums very professionally and was intent on playing well. Complicated went well too. The end result was a brilliant performance.

THE INFERNO ROCK KIDS were a great to work with this term. Tutors Phil and Lee helped the band produce a great performance at WSRP. The band were all new to the Juniors and they all worked their socks off to create a laid back vibe to the show playing Valerie, Suddenly I See and Ruby. Ross, Connor, Chloe, and Sophie all worked really hard over the term and showed some great musicianship. Audience members noticed the lovely vocal harmonies and with tight keyboard playing, excellent sax playing the performance worth all the effort.

The final act was PUNCHING JUDY. They played Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day and Blink 182 tracks. It was an excellent all round performance with Dom, Oakley and Arnie playing frantic riffs and good solos. Zaks pounding drums stood out keep the songs together and Chris the tutor helped out on bass. The Junior Show was a good example of what can be achieved at WSRP. Well done to all the staff and Students on the day!

WSRP Senior Summer Show 2009
TEAM SUPER FRIENDS had a great gig opening the show for a second year running. Playing Muse and the Raconteurs with sometimes very high and very low vocals, they performed some really tight music improving on performances at previous shows and sounding really good. Olis' Solo performance was good.

THE PINK FLAMINGOS had their problems this term but they produced a good performance of Paradise City. They may of had a few tuning issues but they got past that and performed well.

3 TARDS AND A SINGING PERSON were really tight musically and played two great tracks my favourite being Coheed and Cambria, played solidly. The band are always improving and challenging themselves each term. Great job!
Sams' Solo was excellent. I didn't know he was doing Radiohead?

KOOLYOH, not the rapper!!!??? Were the most improved band this term. They may have only been 2 of them throughout the term but with Rhys' and Chris's' extra help they performed confidently and accurately. Dom did sing high but in tune during The Killers and proved he is really keen to be part of WSRP and likes to have fun. That why we play music! Ollie's playing and singing was superb, good work!

THE BEN TURNER EXPERIENCE played well and produced some good solos and singing. Sam played accurately and the Drumming was solid. Joe has improved a lot on the drums and it is noticeable at shows. Well done Dom, Ben, Sam and Joe great performance. Dom s Solo started off a little bit shakily but he kept it together and got a great cheer at the end of the performance!

RAINBOW SUICIDE were my favourite metal band at WSRP this term purely because they did the shouty growly metal without the shouty and growly stuff. Pete has worked hard on his rock/metal vocals and has done something very clever with the genre of music the band enjoys. To contrast with the melodic vocals, a tight combination of Will and Ants metal shredding and riffage, the combination is really effective. Ant was great with outlandish solos and Joe played some excellent bass and Lees helped on drums: Well done! Pete with his brother Rob on acoustic guitar played some mellow acoustic with some technical finesse.

41 CHILLI PEPPERS were without other band member Luke but they did well and played some good rock with excellent soloing from Ant and Trent's determined vocals on the Sum 41 track. The band has worked well over the term with tight drumming from Joe and Matt has done a good job on Bass for the band.

2nd Half

A14 produced a fun part to the show with some punchy rock /pop mayhem with Shake it. The other students were pogoing at the front of the stage and the audience were clapping and singing along. Sophie and Scarlett showed their skills as a good guitar and drums unit. Chris again helped out with the addition of Oli on vocals for Shake it. Laura also helped out on guitar for one the songs. Scarlett sang well in the solo again with Sophie's help. Excellent work.

Adult WSRP Summer Show 2009

Gemma performed superbly on Super Massive Black Hole by Muse with a tight tutor band to backing her up. Gemma is doing so well from a singing/performance perspective and she has a lot of talent.

Anna performed really well and she has found that more souly music and more laid back style suits her vocals. It was smooth and very professionally done. Great one!
Anna Solo again was good and very accurate

Gemmas' solo of Torn was lovely. Sang with passion and accompanied by some great acoustic guitar thanks to Rhys

WSRP Senior Summer Show 2009

EXUBERANT BANANA DEATH: I thought the band were a bit ambitious doing Sweet Child of Mine as Rob may have been out of his vocal comfort zone a little but he was aware of that and wanted to perform the song and put 100% effort in. He sang it really well and all the timing was good. The Best part of the Senior Show for me was Rob singing Nothing Else Matters. He was passionate and really into the song. The guitar Rory played was awesome. Very impressive. The song was played and sounded fantastic!
Rob Solo was ok and there were tuning problems but again Rob showed a professional side a stuck it out without worrying.

IMPROV played the hardest version of 20th Century Boy I've heard for a while: James, Russ, Rob, Joe with the help of Lee blasted it out and put on a good animated performance. James' vocals cut through the guitars and sounded great. Russ played some nice vintage solos and Rob was sounding tight. Great Job
James' Solos were great and the highlight for me was Everlong by the Foo Fighters. It just suits the way he sings acoustically it sounds really impressive. Keep up the good work next term.

THE HEADLINERS

JAMIE, LAURA, Chris with Sophie played the headline slot for the show. The sound was punchy and tight with one original song played in the very punk rock set. Laura has gained confidence and experience over the last 2 terms and they were the first band to get stuck in and rehearse this term. I am very pleased they were top of the bill and did so well with the opportunity they were given.

Finale: Michael Jacksons Thriller ensemble!
This was a joint effort from Ollie (R), Ollie (S), Dom, Russ, Sophie, Scarlett, Gemma, Ellie, Rory, Robert, Phil, Lee, Chris and a cast of thousands of zombie dancers who couldn't make it on stage! This was a great end to the show with Ellie finally making an appearance on bass. She will be welcome back next term. The Show was great and to end in this way was inspired. I hope you all enjoyed performing this term and the audience were very appreciative of the efforts you made.
Thanks from Jez!

This was my (Jez's) first show in charge of WSRP. Jez and the other staff helped with creating a great atmosphere and all the bands had a great time backstage and performing on the night. The Autumn Term begins on Saturday 26th September! See you all there next term!
