MyElement

MyElement are a five piece indie / powerpop band based in East and West Sussex. The band formed at the beginning of 2006 when vocalist and lead guitarist Harry Peach went into the studio to record some songs for James Borland's Music Production degree. All of the other band members were then brought in as session musicians to record various parts for the songs, however the chemistry between all the musicians was so strong that they decided to give playing as a band a go.

Stars and Sons

In October 2007, Colchester Zoo realised that the summer temp they had employed - Mike Lord - was still being paid. While those in the zoo’s upper echelons plotted his demise, Lord remained blissfully unaware. He saw his future there, amongst the animals. Thankfully, it wasn’t to be. Falling ice-cream sales and lacklustre postcard displays sealed his fate. Lord was sent packing back to the seaside town of Brighton, his tail between his legs.
