Jamie and the First Class

Jamie and the First Class

The official School Disco band are a local pop band fronted by former solo artist Jamie Goddard. Find out more about this colourful band below...now where did I put my school shirt and tie?

Jamie and the First Class are: Dodgy Dan, Jamie, Neil Appeall and Mad Matt.

Described by ‘The Stage’ as “like Busted on Red Bull… really revives enthusiasm for live music”, Jamie and The First Class have established a well-deserved reputation as one of the most exciting, talented and downright fun bands around.

Established in 2000, the band is made up of four young – yet highly experienced – musicians: Jamie on guitar and vocals, Neil on lead guitar, Dan on bass and Matt on drums. Together they have performed in many prestigious venues including Hammersmith Palais, Cliveden, Caerphilly Castle, Donnington Castle, The Grosvenor Hotel (Park Lane), The Barbican, Eton College, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford and many more.

Jamie and the First Class are also in demand internationally and are looking forward to a month’s tour of five-star hotels in Israel and a tour of Australia in 2007. Having recently toured Poland, France, Egypt and Spain, Jamie and the boys can’t wait to see the world.

As the resident band at the SchoolDisco.com club in London’s Hammersmith Palais, the boys have regularly performed to audiences of thousands of people. The band’s excellent live show entertains crowds of all ages, performing a wide range of music to suit all tastes. It is this attention to detail and love of playing that has won them a large and loyal following in many countries.

2005 saw the band release their debut album, Late For School, a cracking collection of old favourites plus some soon-to-be-hits penned by Jamie. As an established singer/songwriter in his own right with a lot of radio airplay under his belt, Jamie’s songs form an important part of the band’s repertoire.

In the same year they became the first band to be featured on the front page of ‘The Stage’ in years.

Jamie and The First Class are looking forward to a fantastic 2006, and aim, as always, to provide the brilliant atmosphere and excitement that only live music can give wherever they go.
