8 in A Bar disbanded in September after two and a half years, when seven of its members left for university. ‘We had been fairly successful in that time and as we were splitting up, we decided we’d like to leave something which people could remember us by,’ said trombonist Matt Bowditch, 17.
The CD was recorded in a single day at Danny Joyce’s Electric Index studio in
September and the 14 tracks on the disc are representative of the band’s live
performance. ‘It was unrelenting,’ said trumpeter Matt Sharp, 18 of the
recording. ‘To get it right we had to play each track an average of three times and
that’s a lot of playing.’ The band said Mr Joyce had done a good job
producing the CD, which sounded ‘polished’ and very professional. ‘It
was pretty much recorded live and the editing is very subtle,’ said bass guitarist
Phil Stevens, 18.
Tom Claxton, Emma Shires, Matt Nichols, Seb Grand and Josh Cottam complete the line up.
School friend Josh Fletcher designed the cover. The CD costs £7.99 and is available
at Sound City on The Bridge or by calling Matt Bowditch on 237024 after 5pm.
More than 200 people attended a farewell concert at St Martin’s Community Centre in
September. However, the public have a chance to see them again.
On Tuesday 19 December they will perform outside Sound City for late night shoppers
between 7 and 9pm. On 21 December they will be playing outside Next in the Pollet. CDs
