Arctic Monkeys to Save Our Schools? |
|
Sarah Teather, the Liberal Democrat Shadow Education and Skills Secretary MP is arguing a case against exam board Edexcel, who are looking to stop running their Music Technology A Level - a course which the Arctic Monkeys took.
She argued:
"Edexcel should be looking to increase choice and opportunity for young people, not reduce it.
The Edexcel website still boasts that members of the Arctic Monkeys studied Music Technology at A-level. Edexcel should reflect on the success of that band and reconsider their proposal to close the door on future rock stars, technicians and composers.
I hope the glare of publicity will make them consult on the issue more widely and come to a less abrupt decision. Creative subjects such as music are vital for a well-rounded education.
Music technology is a study very distinct from music and is a field that is growing in both popularity and career opportunities." |

Dirty Pretty Things frontman Carl Barat has revealed that he and his fellow bandmates gave Alex Turner and co some fashion advice.
The bands met up in Scotland at the weekend during T in the Park. Barat said:
"We did give the Arctics some fashion advice. It was regarding a particular golf top that Alex was wearing.
"We do get on with Alex and the rest of the guys, but we do like to take the piss out of them too."

|
Ex-Arctic Monkeys bass player Andy Nicholson is said to be begging for a chance to return to the band, after being kicked out only a few weeks ago.
According to The People a source close to Andy and the rest of the band, has revealed that "fatigue" may not have been the only reason they split and told the paper:
"He has been begging to come back, but Alex has said No.
"Andy is devastated. The band was his life and now he has nothing.
"While the others have been performing all over the world, Andy has been moping around in Sheffield.
"There was a falling out. They need to sit down and sort out their differences.
"Who knows? Maybe there is still a chance of Andy returning." |

Arctic Monkeys Talk About Split With Andy |
|
Arctic Monkeys have finally spoke of ex-bass player Andy Nicholson's departure. The band found themselves backstage at Oxegen festival on the Gonzo brown couch with Zane Lowe and explained how touring played a part in Andy leaving the band and that they're all still good mates.
Guitarist Jamie Cook said:
"I sent him a message yesterday actually, telling him to have a good one and that."
Frontman Alex Turner added:
"To start with we were in Lisbon at the end of the European thing and he decided he didn’t want to come to America. And that was cool, and then, I don’t know, I guess we found ourselves in this situation by the end of the American tour.
"I mean, a lot happens, it’s not just like three weeks in a normal thing, it’s three weeks with your head all over the place. I mean, it’s a difficult thing to explain, I don’t think anyone will really understand this except us three and Andy" |
