Expertise Rocks! 09/07/2025, Join us…
Following in the footsteps of such events as Law Rocks, Expertise Rocks takes place at 93 Feet East, Shoreditch. Bands formed of experts in their various fields will battle it out again in July, demonstrating their excellence on the stage to a panel of illustrious judges, and a sell-out audience.
Doors open at 6.45pm followed by the battle from 7.15pm. Each band plays a set of their choosing, usually covers. Bands are judged on performance, musicianship, entertainment, and all the skills that go to make up a good band. At the end of the night the winner is decided, and takes home the title of Expertise Rocks! Band of 2024!
This year we will be raising money again primarily for Kinetika Bloco. Kinetika Bloco works to get young people from South London engaged in long term creative activity advancing their education, skills, and capacity. Through the music, dance, design and leadership activities they enable young people to have creative engagement, determine company policy and direction and to follow pathways for leadership and career development and participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
Each band also chooses their own charity to fundraise for. And as always, you can be sure that subject to one or two tiny expenses, the money raised goes straight to charity.
Don’t forget to check the raffle page for all the prizes which will be on offer.
Judges
2025 Judging Panel…
- Fiona McAllister is from Channel 4, but she doesn’t do the news, she’s a senior in-house lawyer and big supporter of Law Rocks, which is where we met.
- Suzi Sendama is a law rocks legend and has both judged and performed before. A lawyer and all-round superstar we can rely on for a strong opinion and a great night out.
- Andy Matthews is to Architecture what Simon Cowell is to pop idol, even his LinkedIn profile photo should strike fear into the heart of any aspiring rock star!
- Special Guest… We almost certainly have a very special guest judge joining us who may or may not be rock n roll royalty. You can be sure of a considered and experienced view when this guy rocks up.
And of course, the host with the most, all round great guy and Mr Entertainment – Ollie Goldsmith, no Expertise Rocks should be without him. ADR clerk at Keating Chambers, musician and raconteur.
