Black rose is our college’s biggest band right now. Jody, Ed, Frank and Fliss got together at
college in 2003. Since then, they have done four tours of the south west and they have
released two CDs on the college label. They have had three tracks played in the national
radios. They have just finished a tour at the Swan theatre, the football ground and the Nag’s
head pub in town. On the day before the last gig, we talked to lead singer, Jody.
Since our interview last week, the band has had a big bust up
The college gig didn’t go well. The lead guitarist and the pianist didn’t play well. They were really tired and didn’t try
very hard. Jody was really mad. “When students have paid all that money for a ticket, we have to play well” she said
next morning. “Some fans have waited a year to see us. I feel terrible” So she’s left the band. At riff magazine we hope
it’s only temporary.
