A lot has been happening at Progress Academy – and we thought that now would be a good time to tell you all about it…

In January, Steve and Gaz attended the NAMM Show in Los Angeles – the largest music trade event in the world. This was swiftly followed by a hugely successful showcase event carried at at St. Paul’s Church in Birmingham. This saw over 35 students performing in front of a crowd of well over 120 people.

 

In March, Steve toured all over the world demonstrating the new Marshall Code series of Amps.

Closer to home, one of our brightest students – Beth Ford – performed at The Symphony Hall in Birmingham… at the tender age of just 15!

In April, The Voice visited Progress Academy to check out students for the upcoming new series, while Universal and Polydor Records came for a secret scouting event where they talked to and watched 10 of our best students perform.

Finally, Gaz is part of the Natal Drums team organising the drumbeat UK event. This is a world record attempt of 1001 drummers playing together. You can find out more at drumbeatuk.org.
