FROM SMALL ACORNS...

Good Evening!

Its kinda late to be posting a new blog post really, but i tend to work better at night (i think its a student thing), so im gunna post it anyway while in bed watching re-runs of jersey shore!

Me and my brother recently formed a band, so i thought for my band of the month, id do a peice on my own band instead of promoting other peoples :)

The band is called 'From Small Acorns,' and there is just the two of us ...

Me (Becky) ... 19 (nearly 20) Law student at Nottingham Law School....plays acoustic guitar Martin DX1, clarinet, and learning piano...reads music to a high standard...interesting fact - i used to windsurf competitively !? :)

Callum ...16, student/apprentice joiner...plays electric guitar, acoustic guitar... competitive canoer on the UK circuit... interesting fact - built his own acoustic guitar (see video below)

How were 'From Small Acorns' formed? I was asked by a friend of our mums to perform at a charity fundrasier in aid of Ashgate hospice/Kimberly Trickett Fund, and i thought, as Cal is better at guitar than me, that it would be a good idea to get him involved to play guitar so i could just concentrate on singing, and so thats what we did. We played a 4 song set list consisting of songs by Guns N Roses, Damien Rice, Oasis and Coldplay, and the set went down fantastically...since then weve been doing more music related projects together!

Your probably also wondering about the name...we were struggling for a name but one morning after one of my first open mics, my mum quoted the old saying 'from small acorns, big trees grow...' and something clicked in my head, and its stuck ever since...it also sounds quite acoustic-y dont you think!?

Im currently doing a lot of gigs in nottingham/derbyshire at the moment so if you live locally pop down...check out our facebook page for more info on the gigs front ( From Small Acorns (Becky Lovatt)) or follow us on twitter : @fromsmallacorn  @beckylovatt @callumlovatt

Thanks,

Becky (From Small Acorns)
