Eastbourne College Live Lounge 2021 will support hospice

College spokesman Adrian Ashby said: “We are very excited to announce that on Friday, February 12 from 6pm to 7pm, we will be broadcasting our Live Lounge 2021 album performances in HD on Vimeo, Facebook and YouTube!

“This promises to be an hour of top-quality music from some of the College’s best singer-songwriters.

“The event will begin with introductions from our professional songwriter and teacher Tom Williams (who guides the weekly song-writing workshop at the College) and the performances (comprised of 11 songs, mostly originals but some covers) will be punctuated by the artists/pupils being interviewed briefly.

“Eastbourne College Music Dept is raising money for St Wilfrid’s Hospice (Eastbourne) Ltd because we believe in the power of music to bring joy.

“Each year, aided by an enthusiastic team of music department professionals, pupils at Eastbourne College produce and publish a Live Lounge album.

“The pupils and staff do this outside of their everyday curriculum commitments and the Live Lounge album is the culmination of months and years in some cases of dedication to the weekly Songwriter Workshop, run by the College’s resident professional songwriter and all-round good guy, Tom Williams.
