Band Members For Our Video

Band Members For Our Band

Derry Foran (Lead Singer/Guitarist) - 

We have chosen to use Derry as the 'Liam Fray' of our group due to the fact that he looks like he would fit in the indie scenesters genre. This helps us because it allows us to make a realistic music video as he fits in, as well as it helping to appeal to our chosen audience. As our aim is to appeal to our audience, we felt that choosing someone different who didn't fit that certain category would ruin the certain look that we were going for. Furthermore, we felt that this would help a lot by picking derry as our lead singer because he listens to The Courteeners already and is a fan of their work. This means that he will know the lyrics and therefore he will be able lip sync at a higher standard in comparison to if we had someone who had never heard of the song beforehand. As he is a confident performer, and our video is a 'performance' video, it goes hand in hand together because it means that he will be able to do a variety of things that we require him to do because he isn't shy.


Finn Reaney (Lead Guitar) -

We decided upon choosing Finn to be the bass guitarist because he also looks like a realistic band member of the Courteeners. He also has some experience with playing guitars which makes it easier as it won't be a new thing for him. Finn's appearance also makes him suitable for the bass guitarist as he will fit in with the band  and won't look out of place. In addition, he is also a Courteeners fan likewise is Derry which means he will feel more comfortable playing the song that we have chosen.

Will Jones (Bass) -

As will is in the group and is a bass player, we decided that it would be best if he was one of the performers as it meant he would be on the stage and it would make things easier to rearrange on stage as he would be up there. As we struggled to think of band members who would suit being in the band that we are trying to 'create', we felt that the simplest way to do this would be to just include Will in our band.

Ali Lord (Keyboard) -

At first we didn't consider having anyone playing the keyboard in the song, however after thoroughly thinking about it and listening to it, we realised that you could evidently hear it included and that it was important in the song. Therefore we chose Ali to play the keyboard as we felt that this was necessary and that he would fit in with the song and the rest of the band members.

George Cartwright (Drummer) - 

He is now our chosen drummer after changes had to be made. Originally we had chosen Ollie Dennis to be our drummer as he was in our group, however, after a group agreement we decided that it would be better if he worked on his on. This lead to us choosing George as our drummer because he fits the role and has some experience. Although the other two members both have experience in their instrument, we felt that choosing a drummer with experience was the main area we had to make sure was correct due to the fact that we want them to look in rhythm and sync with the song. Along with that, his appearance also helps to ensure that he fits in with the band look which is what we are aiming to be consistent with.
