Meet our first five Buskers!

So, it's time to shine a spot light on those who have already signed up to Busk, and therefore got a head start on the rest of you who are yet take the next step =op

First up, and first to sign up are The Foxy Stars

The Foxy Stars are a collection of lawyers and staff at DLA Phillips Fox. They think that StarJam is a fantastic organisation and are proud to showcase their vocal talents (even though they refer to said talent as questionable) to assist StarJam create opportunities for others. They wish the best of luck to StarJam and the other participants! Aww guys, your FANtastic! I should know, I've watched your video and you can watch their video and donate here.

The Foxy Stars are Jamming for Katrina Williams. Katrina is a Jammer in the Magic Movers, one of our fantastic dance groups. Katrina loves being on stage and performing with her friends.

Second on the Menu are Singstarz

Stingstarz ask us if we know that a Pedal Steel and a Didgeridoo sound like together, well I have no idea but I suspect we are going find out as they are going to be giving it a try! They say they might even sing a few songs too.

They say that they are a group of people ho like to make music, make laughter and make money for StarJam. Even though they say they will probably be making fools of themselves I suspect that with singing an eclectic mix of music and insturments they are going to Pop, Blues and rock their way in to your heart.

Singstarz are Jamming for Matthew Brent-Jones. Matthew is in the West Sensational Singing group where he has loads of great friends. His favourite song is “Jingle Bell Rock" Which fits well since Singstarz have said they may also treat us to some Christmas Carols!

#3 on our list is AXA Hearts in Action

The team at AXA are tuning up in support of StarJam. AXA Hearts in Action is a great programme supporting many great causes including StarJam.

AXA Hearts In Action are Jamming for Katie Nash. Katie is a member of the Velvet Vocals. They recently performed in Sydney, Australia, where Katie rocked it on stage with her fellow Jammers. Katie loves singing, dancing and puzzles.

Now for Team Number 4 Lew and Eddy

Lew (Matteus Rocca) and Eddy (Campbell MacKenzie) aren't ordinary 11 year olds ... they're urban musicholics with a twist. They've been performing together for 2 years and are foundation members of their band Undercover Rock. They've been involved with Lewis Eady Rock School since they met and have had numerous performance opportunities which have included fundraising concerts.

Matteus' lead guitar brings a rock edge to the duo with inspiration coming from ACDC's Angus Young and Jack Black. Campbell's vocals and acoustic sound have been influenced by Neil Finn and Jason Kerrison's unique styles. Together they have an extensive repertoire which includes both original songs and covers.

Matteus and Campbell see themselves as being the future of Kiwi music and are grateful for this opportunity to support StarJam. They believe that every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy that music and performance brings.

Now I know I shouldn't play favorites but apart from these boys being AWESOME the Jammer they are rocking for, happens to be my Little Brother Ben Matthews. Ben is in the Groovy Guitar workshop. He is an experienced guitarist who has written several of his own songs. He also loves busking!(Which he also doing for Money for Jam)
