and they performed well even though there were only a few people in the theatre.
ʻ3 Little Wordsʼ was first to play at the shuffle band night. They are a talented band which can perform great live. They did a cover version of journeyʼs donʼt stop believing which was very good.
Exclusive! We like ʻLittle Fury Thingsʼ and thought their music would be perfect for our media project so were making a music video for them.

Little fury things T
he three lads met at college and have been in three prior bands together.
They then formed in 2011 at the beginning of September. They show really good chemistry and are good friends. Joe, Lewis and James are fun young lads, who hope to keep the band together and are dreaming big. 1. Why did you start playing?

Joe: I dunno really...We
James: Erm...it’s like
James: Sonic youth basically
decided that we liked the different types of music that we’ve never played before so we all decided to group

James: We were in a band last year and we really enjoyed it but we didn’t carry it on so we decided to make a new one.
‘we would like to be playing massive gigs to thousands of people”’
2. What style of music do you play?
3. Who is your favourite idol/ band/singer and why?
us. There quite grungy and they get at people like having a go at them. 4. Where do you see yourself as a band in 5 years time?
Lewis: Fugazi or Biffy Clyro, I like the way they write their music and especially the guitars, like in our band we write trippy base lines and stuff.
Joe: in unrealistic terms we would like to be playing massive gigs to thousands of people every day and going around the world but
if not i hope that in 5-6 years we would be playing in pubs and clubs around the north east area. James: and hopefully by then we will have an album. 5.What do you think you need to do to get their? Joe: well we need to publicise ourselves and get out there and let people know who we
are. At the moment we’ve just been playing in college and people here say that they
Lewis: it actually came from a dinosaur junior song called little fury things.
like us but that’s friends and there always quite back with their opinions, obviously there not gunna say your crap. So we need to get some real gigs done and get out there and see what happens. 6. Where did the name for your band come from?

5 tips on completing assignments
Following the tips below will help you complete your assignments on time and with the correct content. The key to a good assignment is preparation, planning and further reading. If the below doesn’t help remember to ask your tutors, there’s always someone who will help. If you want advice on college life or just personal issues then you can email us at Breamcateer@eastdurham.ac.uk or you can write to us at this address East Durham College, Willerby Grove, Peterlee, County Durham, SR8 2RN.
3. Plan you work – create a plan on how you will complete your assignment and what you will include.
2. Re read all your class notes - look at the information your tutor has placed on the VLE. You need to be familiar with the topic.
4. Don’t leave it until the night before – give yourself plenty of time to complete the assignment. Leaving it late can cause panic, stress and missed deadlines; leading to a backlog of assignments. And more stress!
1. Read the assignment brief very carefully - you need to understand what you have to do before you start. Always refer back to the grading criteria; this is what you will ultimately be marked against.
5. Use the LRC effectively – always do more reading on the topic, this will give you a better understanding and broader knowledge of the topic.
