Context essay

What it has got to do about my music is that I learn that they are very old bands and artists and I am learning their songs and performing them in college in the Gigs.Like for example Billie Jean by Micheal Jackson,Come together by the beatles and writing reviews if necessary ,It is a good experience to learn,as I never knew this before.


We had been learning in Band workshops Bob Marley one love,Billie Jean,Beat it and PYT by Micheal Jackson.This also similar about what I learnt about the Island records and also about Bob Marley in it.I never knew about the 80s before and especially about the music that was shaped and came from it.I am from I am from India, andnow as I recently relocated to Uk,I am finally getting a chance of study img about it and performing/playing it on the musical instrument which is the piano in music class sessions and listening and playing during the gigs.
I had been looking through the Internet,Blogs and other links as well to complete this task.It gives all the details 
about changes in the music that became thick during the 1980s and 1990s,I mean to say that these are very old and we all our studying and understanding about it.
People had been doing a lot of work to set up industries,it took them time to make CDs,cassettes etc.for people to listen to music.Changes in music became very thick and very fast during the 1980s.It consisted of two genres Bob Marley in 1981 and John Lennon in 1980.
In the pop world Micheal Jackson was the one who became a solo artist. https://plus.google.com/117879285261463035507/posts/jkJEqAiZTQZ.

About how the audience interacted with the musicians was that they had been talking about their songs to make 
people excited and they could sing in the choruses and the main part of the songs.This seems to be an amazing 
experience.Yet we have got to learn more about the Decades in 1980s.

This is the main bibliography of the 1980s

Therefore,What I can say that there are many /somepeople who will not be knowing all about what has been happening in the music Industries, especially about the very old bands.Musical Bands are having good sense of rhythm and doing amazing perforhttps://plus.google.com/117879285261463035507/posts/jkJEqAiZTQZ.

Research of Margaret thatcher


Margaret HildaThatcher,Baronness Thatcher,LG,OM, FRS,FRICTIONS (nee Roberts;13 October 1925 to 8 April 2013) was a British stateswoman who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. She was the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century and the first woman to have held the office.A Soviet journalist dubbed her the "Iron Lady", a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.

Originally a research chemist before becoming a barrister, Thatcher was elected Member of parliament for Finchley in 1959. Edward Heath appointed her Secretary of State for Education and Science in his 1970 government. In 1975, Thatcher defeated Heath in the Conservative Party leadership election to become Leader of the Opposition and became the first women to lead a major political party in the United Kingdom. She became Prime Minister after winning the 1979
general election.

On moving into 10 Downing Street,Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives intended to reverse high unemployment and Britain's struggles in the wake of the Winter of Discontent and an ongoing recession. Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment,until victory in the 1982 Falklands War and the recovering economy brought a resurgence of support,resulting in her re-election in 1983.

Thatcher was re-elected for a third term in 1987. During this period her support for a Community Charge (referred to as the "poll tax") was widely unpopular, and her views on the European Community were not shared by others in her Cabinet. She resigned as Prime Minister and party leader in November 1990, after Micheal Hesltine launched a challenge to her leadership.After retiring  from the Commons in 1992, she was given a life peerage as Baronness Thatcher,of Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire,which entitled her to sit in the House of Lords. After a series of small strokes in 2002, she was advised to withdraw from public speaking.Despite this,she managed to prerecord a eulogy to Ronald Reagan prior to his death,which was broadcast at his funeral in 2004. In 2013,she died of another stroke in London at the age of 87.

Christopher Percy Gordon "Chris" Blackwell (born 22 June 1937) is an English businessman and record producer, and the founder of Island Recorders,which has been called "one of Britain's great independent labels."

Island Recorders was founded in Jamaica on 4 July 1959 by Chris Blackwell, Graeme Goodall and Leslie Kong, and partially finance by Stanley Borden from RKO.

As of February 2014,three Island label brands exist in the world:U.K.,USA and Australia.Partially due to the labels significant legacy, Island Recorders artist Melissa Etheridge stated :If you want to look at world music,music of the last fifty years that changed the world,you need look no further than Island records."

Here are 2 set lists,The first one consists of the one which was in order for today's gig,and the second one consist of the band members.Who performed today.

Winter gig review/evaluation

Today,we had a gig in room no. 139 in the college,Level 2 and level 3music performance students meaning all of us had performed the songs we had been practicing during the Band workshop classes and Songwriting sessions/classes.

It was a good performance and also I feel that this is the end of the term and which is why we had been performing our original songs as well.

So first the level 2 music performers performed on stage,the song which I liked best was the song named happy by phirall williams and I liked the way the singers and especially Peter sang and a good sense of rhythm.

Then after the level 2 music performers,it was our turn,I was first with my group band members which consisted of Beatriz,Russa,Danielle and I who were the singers,Olly on the guitar/Bass,Ivan on the piano and Junior who is a music production student was the drummer,We had a good time engaging with the audience,and also it was good that I sang,because usually I keep playing the piano and my friends could watch me sing as they never heard me before apart from the music certificate performance which happened in October,I liked watching the other performers as well and being a good audience,I feel good by James brown was the one which we practiced in the band workshop classes.
 Then  in between there were other L 3Music performers performing on stage,All those performers meaning who were the ones who were performing on the original songs of there own,The elements are Found Sound,Ostinato,Strings etc.I'm  In the last two performances,I performed again on stage with the group band members,The second last one was an original song called 'to the river running free',the element was Ostinato,which is a repeated phrase throughout the most of our music band performances,The Ostinato performance Consists of Marco and Kyrah who were the vocalists,Hasna on the guitar,Russa on the bass,Junior on the drums and I as the pianist playing the Ostinato in the choruses of the Song.
The next one was the song which we again played in the Band workshop was teardrop by Massive Attack.Another thing is that the Song Superstition  and teardrop are in two of the performances because there are two different people and especially the drummers. So in the first part of Superstition,Morgan is playing the drum and in the second part of Superstition,the drummer is Junior.Same thing for teardrop by Massive Attacks.I was in the last one in Junior's group for teardrop song.It is the same band and there was one more person I forgot to mention,Mimi was playing the Guitar in Both teardrop and I feel good.Olly was on the bass in I feel good. The only difference in teardrop was,I played the piano and Ivan shifted to the keyboard.I played the chords very well but there were a few mistakes but it was ok,But I at least participated.

Another thing I wanted to say is that,I do practice at home imagining that the group band is already with me and I am playing/singing with them but when we perform together in college,It is a little different as to what we are doing,for example in Superstition and I feel good,We had to change the key.Next time we will ensure that we perform better and improve our skills in the course and in life.Otherwise everything is Ok and I was happy that I performed well today.

The content of the performance was that the key signature had to be changed in I feel good,rhythm was the same,In our original songs,the Ostinato was changed prior to rehearsals.
