The cameras of students from the University of Gloucestershire will be following Flowers to the Albert Hall this year.

The West of England Regional Champion, Flowers will head to the Royal Albert Hall on the weekend with television cameras in tow.

Partnership

As part of their partnership with the University of Gloucestershire, four 3rd year students will be following the band as they prepare for their 5th consecutive National Finals appearance.

Filming has already taken place at the Flowers rehearsal room in Quedgeley, as well as the University of Gloucestershire's Park Campus in Cheltenham, and will be added to with on and off stage footage from the Albert Hall.

Television festivals

The project will form part of the student’s degree course and also be entered in a number of student festival events as well as hopefully being seen on television before the end of 2013.

We wish to thank Phil Morris and Kapitol Promotions for allowing us to film at the event for this exciting and innovative projectFlowers Band
