Barton Court Rocks at Canterbury Music Event

Posted on: 11/11/2025

On Friday 31 October, the Barton Court Rock Band participated in the 'Contraband' engagement project – a live music initiative for young musicians (aged 14-21) in the Canterbury district. The event saw bands from schools perform for industry professionals.

The Barton Court Rock Band were the youngest participants by some margin, but played brilliantly, treating the audience to classics such as Song 2 and Smells Like Teen Spirit. The students really enjoyed playing in a professional setting and received some fantastic feedback – they are keen to participate again next year!

We would like to thank the Canterbury Festival for providing this opportunity to our students.
