ALUMNI

A number of Play It Strange songwriters that have had their songs recorded for our annual albums are making cool inroads in the world. Here we have a selection of those who hit the ground running when they walked out the school gates. With songwriting, performance and recording experience they were capable and poised for action. Have a scroll through. There will be more to come. You can listen to both our Alumnae songs and current catalogue of songs in our bandcamp.
