Eliza makes us smile

I received a few messages around a month ago now from one of the North East's hardest working and well respected musicians. He asked if I knew any decent young drummers who were ready to gig as he was putting a band together to manage and mentor. All the band members were in place minus the drummer (damn its hard to get a good one). I suggested a young chap called George Rowan who after a few years of lessons and a lot of practice and effort has become a great, cool, calm and solid player.
Jump to Tuesday just gone and I'm standing in my local pub for the first Tuesday buskers night a very busy well ran evening giving a chance to solo artist, musicians or bands alike. I ended up there to support George and his new band having beaten off any competition he is now part of Eliza Smiles.
After 4 rehearsals the female led pop rock outfit played a hand full of songs inc Foster the people's Pumped up kicks and Jessie j's Price tag. For a band of 14yr old musicians this was a brilliant, confident and mature first performance and I'm very happy and proud to say that with a few month of practice and a full set of catchy songs these guys will be the hottest young band in the north east!!!!!!!!
Awesome stuff
