Academy Students Visit 'Music Live' Exhibition

Northampton Academy's music students visited the ‘Music Live’ Exhibition at the Birmingham NEC in November. Our students had the chance to try the latest instruments / music technology equipment and attend seminars with industry professionals to learn about different occupations and careers within the music industry. The event hosted a live stage where signed bands performed throughout the day which gave our students the chance to experience a real gig. In addition a ‘buskers’ stage, catering for unsigned musicians, provided an opportunity for visitors to perform.

Two Academy students, Kemi Olowoyo and Mohammed Janneh overcome their nerves and performed a song composed by themselves. A video of their performance can be viewed below.
