The Rock Project - Battle of the Bands 2008


Huge congratulations to the Valentines for winning The Rock Project battle of the bands 2008.
All four bands played a superb set, making the decision for the judges extremely tough. There was also a fantastic set by last year’s winner The Debut, who performed while the judges deliberated over the 4 bands. The judging panel was Greg Kane, Dave MacDonald (head of YMI for the Scottish Arts Council), Tony Gaughan, Bill Gaughan and David Wells of Neon Tetra Records. Massive thanks to the mentors for their support to bands and all who came along to support the bands!
Last years Battle of the Bands Final took place on Tues 13th Feb at the Barrowlands - congratulations to The Debut for winning! They went on the following week to win the XFM Cadet vote! The four bands competing were The Debut, Cadenza, Ice Cold & Alex and Falling Behind Fred. All bands played a blinding set but there could only be one winner. James of Our Lunar Activities, Danny Wylie & Tony Gaughan of Neon Tetra Records and Louise Henderson of No Half Measures were the judges for the night. There was also a special performance from The Hedrons and the night was hosted by the one and only Jim Gellatly! Well done to all bands who took part and a massive thanks to the mentors and staff who helped to make the project a great success!
