It is very great pleasure to be able to help out one of the rock groups from my school. The Plunge are four talented year 10 (going into year 11) students: Savannah Tyson, lead vox; Denva Fawkes, lead guitar and vox; Aiden Richards, Bass; and Mathew Barker, Drums. They made their debut public performance outside the the confines of the school a couple of weeks ago at Boston United's Community Day and wowed the crowds with their talent and energy. So much so that they were asked to perform as part of the Pilgrim Lounge's Beer Festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Unfortunately, Savannah has been suffering with the vocalists nightmare - bad throat - for the past few weeks and has been advised by the doctor to not sing whilst her voice recovers. Naturally the she was mortified and the band prepared to cancel the gig. So being the dope that I often am I volunteered to step and and sing any songs she couldn't manage so that the "show could go on"!!! I'm hoping that Savannah will find enough voice to sing a few if not all of the set but failing that I've been learning the stuff that I've heard the teenagers perform for the past few years. We'll be doing stuff from The White Stripes, Green Day, Kings of Leon, The Killers and more. It's an out and out rock set!
So tomorrow will be a challenge for me. I hope that Savannah feels well tomorrow, but I'm ready to step in and be an Old teenager.
If anyone is interested, it'll be at the Pilgrim Lounge, which is at Boston United football ground at 6pm for about 30 minutes or so. See you there!
