Band wins through to grand final

Peninsula band One Minute of Living has made it through to the grand final of The Battle of the Bands in semi-finals held at Erina recently.

The four member band consists of Alec Sproule on vocals, Liam Johnson on lead guitar and backing vocals, Daniel Harding on rhythm guitar, Jake Rookes the bass man and Declan Sproule, the drummer.

"These guys were ecstatic when they heard their names called to go through to the finals," said Mr Kevan Harding, father of band member Daniel Harding.

"As always, the competition was strong and each of the bands had 30 minutes to show what they had to offer."

The bands Sky Squadron, Before the Lights and One Minute Of Living won through to the grand final to be held from 6.30pm on November 5 at the Hub at Erina Fair.

"The talent of bands on the Central Coast is second to none.

"Until you get out into these venues such as the Hub , you don`t realise how good they all are.

"Song writing, music compositions, rock, indie, pop, metal you name it, they do it, and the ages of these guys are as young as 13." said Mr Harding.

"I would just like to say thank you to the people who came to see these bands. Without them, the Battle of the Bands would not be what is today.
