The Drifters come to ACM!


On the 4th of November the Academy of Contemporary Music will play host to legendary band The Drifters. The famous R 'n' B/ Soul group will not only deliver a fantastic masterclass to students, but one lucky vocal degree student will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to sing with them on Eagle FM after a jam packed day of rehearsals with the band.

Legendary band The Drifters whose hits include; 'Saturday night at The Movies', 'Up On The Roof', 'Save The Last Dance', 'Come On Over to My Place', 'Under The Boardwalk' and many many more will be making a visit to The Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford on November 4th, where 15 of the colleges vocal performance degree students have been learning Drifters tracks to enter a competition to sing with the band live on Eagle FM. The winner will spend a day rehearsing with the band, who will also be giving a vocal masterclass at the college, before doing a live recording, where they will sing a vocal harmony part with the band to broadcast on Eagle later that week. The Drifters recent 'Stand By Me' Album, a tribute to former member Ben E King, entered the album charts recently at number 17. The Drifters are also touring with Dionne Warwick, Roberta Flack and Mary Wilson from The Supremes as part of the Legends Live tour in October.
