THE BAND

Freedom Road was formed in 2006 after the young people involved decided to record the songs they had been working on in workshops. Since then they have sold over 1500 copies of the two CD’s they have made, with more coming soon!

You can hear tracks from their CD’s ‘Song for Wilberforce’ (2007) and their new one ‘All My Life’ (2008) on the Listen and Watch Page. You can also watch the music videos to accompany some of the tracks!

 

Although the line-up is always changing when people move on or new ones join, at the moment Freedom Road are: Jess, Sophie, Caine, Sammy and Chic.

Freedom Road travel to Sydney in early February to perform at the CREATE Foundations National Summit. The band were invited by Jacqui Reed the CEO of CREATE who saw the group perform at Keble College Oxford at a Care Matters event in July 2008. Joining long standing members Jess and Becky will be Kita, Caine, Kyra and Lisa.

Freedom Road returned from their time in Australia in late February 2009 and have since done a few local gigs around the region, most notably at the North Yorkshire Care Matters Conference in Selby and at the Platform to Success event in Hull. The band are now writing new material which will be showcased very soon.

In February 2010 Becky and Caine decided it was time to move on and this opened the door for Sammie Watson to join the group. 2010 has therefore so far been a year of transformation for the group and they have been busy rehearsing some cover versions to add to their set, and the release of a new CD with tracks such as "Are You Ready", "Catch Me" and the brilliant "What You Gonna Do", will be out very soon.
