Cottesloe Band Nights
Cottesloe Band Nights is an exciting new music event in the heart of Buckinghamshire. The event takes place at Cottesloe School in Wing, Buckinghamshire. One of the main focuses of the event is to showcase local and independent talent, with bands ranging from screaming hardcore to indie funk.
The diverse range of music gives the events great atmosphere. The Band Nights are renowned for picking local talent the organisers know the crowds will love. Not necessarily just the good bands, but the bands with unprecedented stage-presence.
About
Coming into being at the end of 2006, The first event was organised as a special Christmas event to raise funds for an American Exchange Student who had visited the school, Rob. Rob had been involved in a tragic accident once he had left the School and travelled back to America, and unfortunately broke his neck, leaving him severely paralyzed.
The main reason Cottesloe Band Nights was created was to create funds to help financially support Rob’s Family. The money raised from the first event was then sent on to Himself and his Family, to help pay for creating wheelchair access for his home and van. Now the event organisers have committed themselves to carry on creating more shows, to help a variety of different charities, with the intention of finding a new cause for every gig.
This way, they intend to help many different people in a variety of different ways. With each event hopefully personally connecting with a member of the audience or the musicians playing the event.
The event itself has two main organisers, who to the audience and to everyone else except crew members and performers are known as 'Michael' and 'Jack'. Wether these are pseudo-names is unclear, but they are constantly referred to in these terms.
Michael and Jack are Students at the Cottesloe School, currently studying for their A-Levels. They are self-confessed Music addicts, and created the event not just as a way of supporting charities, community and friends, but also as a way of showcasing local talent, and satisfying the growing local Music scene. The Music scene in Aylesbury has grown considerably recently, with many events and bands appearing all over the vale. Cottesloe Band Nights provide a great venue with great bands, great atmosphere, and great people.
Bands
The diverse range of music gives the events great atmosphere. Event organisers pick local talent that they know the crowds will love. Not necessarily just the good bands, but the bands with unprecedented stage-presence.
Last year, the first event went down with great reception. Local rockers Andensum ended up being signed by a large independent record label; Crash Records, on the night, because of the performance they put on for the event. Partly because of this, the event has a great local following and respect dispite its irregular and rare number of events.
List of performers
The event has an impressive and extensive list of acts that have played, and are as follows:
Simple Reason are a five piece Alternative, Christian, and Rock band from London and South-East.
Andensum are a Metal, Rock, and Progressive band from Oxford.
Mirno are a Rock, Alternative, and Grunge band from the Aylesbury Vale.
Red 64 are a Rock, Funk, and Indie band from the Aylesbury Vale.
When Worlds Collide are a Metal, Rock, and Progressive band from the Aylesbury Vale.
The Search are an Indie, Rock band from the Aylesbury Vale.
Fat Alice are an Indie, Funk, and Ska band from the Aylesbury Vale.
Auto: off are an Metal, Rock, and Screamo band from the Aylesbury Vale.
Future
The event organisers hope to take the event in a variety of different direction over the next year. One major change they would like to see is a more diverse range of bands playing, to attract a greater audience.
At present, the event is a constant sell-out, with tickets sold on the door, and people being turned away. The venue at current has just seen a £45,000 refurbishment and renovation. The Hall it is currently held in has had a slight extension, with the stage space being extended. There has also been a brand new Lighting Rig installed, which is very impressive and will lend to the atmosphere tremendously. On top of this there has also been a new Sound system installed, with new speakers, sound monitors, sound desk as well as new peripherals such as Microphones as well as XLR cables.
Despite this, the event organisers may in fact be planning to move to a larger venue, as demand for tickets and entry to the event at the current venue increase. At the moment, the organisers are happy to remain where they are.
As well as this, the event is also looking to book even more popular and well-known bands then at present. Despite the popularity of the gig and the Musicians that play, event organisers are constantly looking to better themselves and take the event forward.

The Wolves and Humans Foundation (formerly The Wolf Society of Great Britain) is a UK based charity (Registered Charity No. 1111289) dedicated to helping conservation of wolves, as well as bears and lynx, by finding solutions to the problems of living alongside people, through practical measures, education and research. The Foundation’s work mainly focuses on Europe.
The Wolf Society of Britain was formed in 1985 and was one of the first pro-wolf conservation organisations in Europe. In 2005 the Society became a registered charity and changed its name to The Wolves and Humans Foundation, or Wolves and Humans. The idea for the change in name arose from the World Wolf Congress held in Banff, Canada in 2003; many of the presentations concluded that after centuries of persecution, wolf recovery is now a reality, and that the new conservation challenge is to find ways to co-exist with them in a human-dominated landscape.
The aims of the Foundation are;
a) to advance for the benefit of the public, research, education and training in the methods of managing conflict between wolves (and other large carnivores) and agriculture and other human interests.
b) to provide and advance education about wolves (and other large carnivores) to the general public, and to promote, support and advance the scientific study of wolves and other large carnivores.
Working in partnership with local biologists and conservationists in their home countries, provides resources, education and training with the aim of restoring traditional methods of protecting livestock and preventing attacks by predators, and carries out research to establish new methods of preventing conflicts arising.
Wolves and Humans also carries out research to establish true numbers of large carnivores and assess their impact on wild prey species and domestic livestock, helping to dispel misconceptions and provide a sound basis for future conservation and management decisions.
Past and current projects include: provision of livestock guarding dogs to sheep owners in Slovakia; provision of guarding dogs and ‘fladry’ barriers, educational activities and research into wolf population dynamics in Poland; wolf research in the Tver region of central European Russia; and an initiative to improve knowledge about wolves and other carnivores in Belarus.

The Bigger The God, sometimes known as TBTG was a British alternative rock band in the 1990s.
Formed in 1990, and based in Oxford, the band was identified with the local music scene that spawned Radiohead, Supergrass and Ride. However, their music, with its wry vignettes of sexual shenanigans, was more comparable to the songs of Pulp. Singer David Cowles-Hamar, who often performed barefoot, in a sarong, was a charismatic frontman, although the bulk of the songwriting fell to guitarist Ellis James.
Their first album, Variety, won positive reviews in 1996, but the collapse of the Britpop movement, and the band's drift into more experimental sounds meant that they were unable to achieve the success of their better known contemporaries. Their follow-up, ...and the Ugly (1999) was much less successful, and TBTG split in 2003.
