The Forum, Tunbridge Wells, Sunday, 15th February


OH, YES THEY DID!


Six boys from The Mead School in Tunbridge Wells were entered into the audition for Peter Pan, the pantomime at the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells over the festive season. Some 60 boys from various stage schools and agencies had been invited to audition, and for five of the boys from Mead, this was their first-ever


professional audition. After reading for the producers (and quite a lot of sitting around!) the boys were finally told they had all been offered roles! Sam Tavares, Jo Price, Xavier Lake and Alex Maltby performed as the lost boys, while Tom Price was offered the role of Michael and Alfie Johnson the role of John.


This up-and-coming quartet from Watford claim their roots lie in the Punk movement. I would personally put them into the Alternative Rock category, a genre I don’t normally care much for. That ended, however, when I heard their latest album. It is not often that I buy albums these days, but after liking every track, its forthcoming purchase has topped my mental list of things to do.
