Williamwood High School\u2019s 2nd<\/span><\/sup><\/span> Music Festival took place at 7pm on the 10<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup> October in the school\u2019s Conference Suite. Our esteemed judges; Celine Donoghue and John Cavanagh were most impressed with the large variety of styles of music performed – from the delicate tones of the clarsach, to the fantastic, patriotic bagpipe music performed by some of Williamwood High School\u2019s skilful pipers. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After some deliberation, the judges chose Luka as the winner of the Junior Category. Luka performed thrilling guitar solos of Ozzy Osborne\u2019s exciting Sato<\/i><\/span> and <\/span>Kick Start my Heart<\/span><\/i> by the Motley Krew, with Elias, also on the guitar, being awarded the junior runner up for his convincing versions of Black Sabbath\u2019s <\/span>Paranoid <\/span><\/i>and the Black Keys\u2019 <\/span>Lonely Boy<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Senior Category was dominated by Tom\u2019s energetic and exciting performances of Dark Matter<\/i><\/span> and <\/span>Island Magic<\/span><\/i> on the drumkit, with the runner up being Erin, who accompanied herself singing on the guitar. Erin performed her own original song, called <\/span>Goodbye, <\/span><\/i>and also played an imaginative cover of Nena\u2019s <\/span>99 Red Balloons. <\/span><\/i>Her soulful recital was recognised as being mature and expressive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Rising Star was named as Caitlin, who also accompanied herself on the guitar. Her performances of Thinking Out Loud<\/i><\/span> by Ed Sheeran and <\/span>Radio Active<\/span><\/i> by the Imagine Dragons were described as thoughtful and sensitive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to all who attended, and who contributed to such a great night. An extra special thanks to Celine and John, who provided the pupils some fine points in performance skills and some enthusiastic, well-deserved encouragement.<\/span><\/p>\n
