A judge at the event, Eijaz Ahmed,said the festival aimed at providing a platform to the youth to showcase their talent.
“We have dynamic talent over here and in order to promote talent, we need to organise such events. We must organise these things often to encourage youngsters. You might have noticed the performance of a class eight student, who played the guitar as good as any other musician.
If we don’t give him a platform, then he won’t be able to hone his skills,”said Ahmed.Many bands were made up of teenage schoolgoing boys who were performing live for the fi rst time in their lives.
At the ‘Battle of the Bands-2011’ most performers played rock and sufi -rock genres.
The CRPF and Valley Youth Expression organised the rock fest. |
