Session 3 - 24 October 2013

In preparation for this session we agreed that we would either bring our own headphones, or the tutor would obtain some speakers so that we can listen to music from our computers.
Also a number of MUSIC website links have been placed in the 'useful websites' section of this blog on the right of the page.
These should allow us to look at the history of musicians, singers & bands & also to sample their music.

During this session we looked at the Rock Band Kings of Leon.
David is particularly interested in pop music and a variety of heavy rock and rock pop bands. He wanted to share his love and knowledge of this type of music and the bands.
We logged on to the computers and we decided to investigate the band, its origins, its members, it's history and it's albums and singles.
Wikipedia was a good reference point and it provided us with plenty of opportunity for discussion and investigation.
Unfortunately we could not listen to any of their music during this session and the library computers would not load the bands own website.
This was essentially a fact-finding session.
We were able to look at images of the band and find out where their tours were in the past and currently.
