Chronicle Summer 2023

46 ST EDWARD’S CHRONICLE

Battle of the Bands In March five fantastic bands took to the Olivier stage to compete for the coveted Battle of the Bands trophy. A mix of year groups and Houses made up each band and the audience enjoyed listening to Rudimental Kicks, Tilly’s Troopz, Evvander, Tough Squeeze and Clandestine playing tunes from The Stone Roses, Portishead, Fleetwood Mac and The Pretenders. The competition was judged by Ben Weston, Head of Music Tech at Stowe, and this year the trophy went to Clandestine, featuring Oscar Wilbraham on drums, vocals from Niamh Baillie Strong, Adriane Yeung on guitar and Ciarra Desir on bass guitar.

Ciarra Desir, Oscar Wilbraham, Niamh Baillie Strong and Adriane Yeung – the winners of this year’s Battle of the Bands
