Feature Article - Draft

Before i started to create my feature spread it was essential that I created  a draft copy of the article I would be featuring. Here is that draft;

Relevant Children is a small band that was developed early 2010 it started off with underground gigs and bar work. However blew out of proportion when the band was featured in a remix created by nero ever since then Relevant children has been hitting the tops with its interesting take on the rock genre adding both acoustic and electric guitars and feature a piano like many modern bands. I don’t see why this is needed as surely you know who they are?

Q; what got you into singing?
Singing has always been my passion I always strived to the best at something so no one else could compete, especially with my brothers growing up, we were always competitive and always wanted to beat each other and I guess I got lucky, I got the musical genes. I remember when I was 10 and was bought my first guitar I used to sit there for hours playing and singing along trying to create my own pieces. A few years later I developed and started playing for my school as an acoustic guitarist in the jazz band. I’m not going to lie I never truly had the passion for this I missed my electric and belting out my voice. Fortunately I was recognised for this by my music teacher who helped me with the vocals and I became a fully-fledged solo signer by the age of 16. However I felt something was missing and it wasn’t until uni that I and a few friends developed Relevant Children and I’ve never felt more at home.

Q; Will you stay in America?
A; No we know that it’s our English fans that got us to this stage and we don’t want to forget that. In actual fact we are planning a tour around Britain for September into next year so be on the look out for that.

Q; who do you aspire to be?
A; Now that’s a good question I guess me myself aspire to be Dave Ghrol from the foo fighters, if I can get a crowd pumped as good as he does I know I’m going to have a good time.

Q; You have a bad reputation for causing havoc, why is this?
A; let me get this straight Relevant children are a bit like werewolf’s we are normal people in the day but the stage is our full moon. We aim to please the crowd, get them going and on their way, we’ve only been known to break instruments and give them out as freebies as this is what the crowd want and now come to expect from us.

Q; what animal would you best describe yourself as?
A; probably a dog, I’m loyal, always there for you when you’re down and I love to go for long walks!

Q; since being in America have you met anybody famous?
A; It’s funny really growing up in England you hear about all these Hollywood actors and think about how glitz and glam their lives must be, but the other day I managed to get Will Smith’s auto graph in M.C. Donald’s.

Q; How did you manage to make it in America?
A; Oprah was the biggest help, it was like as soon as we had our face on TV we were wanted everywhere and were recognised where ever we went. TV seems to be big in the states. As soon as you’re on it everyone thinks they know you or WILL know you no matter what; it’s like a door to opportunities.


Q; Is there anything that you want to do in America?
A; yea I’d love to meet Obama, maybe even get a round of golf in.

Q; Do you do a lot of sport?
A; I used to when I was little. I was in both rugby and the cricket team and I was also a casual jogger. However I just don’t have the time for real sports any more so jogging’s the only one for me. I don’t see the point in Gyms as everything you need to train is around you.

Q; What about girls?
A; I’ve had a few, we have quite the lady following there is no one special for me but I’m looking so hey girls I’m here come and get me.
