Elliot Minor

The final of five exclusive school parties with Elliot Minor was held at Hylands School in Chelmsford, Essex on Friday 1st May.

Phoenix FM's Steve Mead and Tom Dukeson went along to have a chat and see what it was all about.  To listen again click here.



The nationwide School Invasions competition gives 13 to 18 year olds the chance to host a gig with a top music act in their school or college. This year, not one but five schools had the chance to win the once in a lifetime gig as well as £1,000 worth of music equipment. Details of all the winners can be found on the MySpace School Invasions profile page: www.myspace.com/schoolinvasions.



Elliot Minor reaped the rewards that their fiercely devoted hard work, infectious song writing and natural musicianship deserved when they infiltrated the mainstream with five Top 20 singles and their eponymously titled Top 10 album in 2008. Now working on material for their eagerly anticipated second album, 2009 will be the year that they become a household name.



“We love to play our music live and this competition is all about bringing music to the schools,” says Alex Davies, singer and guitarist of Elliot Minor. “Our love of music started at school with passionate teachers and mates who would get together to play music and learn the hits of the day, we can’t wait to go back to school with MySpace, meet everyone and put on a great show for the winners.”
