Five2three band

Leicester band:  Five2three

This page is a unique account of the birth and progress of one band.

Our idea is  to follow the life of a band from its birth, to see what happens to it – how it grows up and matures, the experiences it has along the way and where it gets to.

We have no idea where this band will get to, or how long it will last.

Our purpose is simply to pick one band and follow it and just record what happens.  It’s a kind of ‘natural history documentary.’

Our band is called Five2 three and we met them for the first time, at their first rehearsal at Stayfree, on 28th June 2013.

Here are the members of the band:

Ryan Fitzpatrick

Owen Moore

Guy Hargreaves

Georgina Tuffen

James Frew

Guy: “Can everyone learn Gives you Hell please?
So we don’t need to learn the notes where we’re there  BTW the last chorus is different to the others so learn it all the way through, Owen Moore play the solo and i’ll do the chords for the break down  Ryan James Fitzpatrick, before you unleash improv genius-ness can we run through with just the basic notes so we can get the structure sorted “
