WSP, BAA and Argent have joined forces once more for the Battle of the Construction Industry Bands, following the success of last year’s band showcase.

The event will take place on 1 October at Argent’s German Gymnasium on King’s Cross Central’s development site and is open to all construction industry company in-house rock bands.

Bill Price, Wild Sex Party member and director at WSP, said: “So many of us in the construction industry enjoy playing music together as an activity outside our day-to-day professional work. The Battle of the Bands aims to recognise and encourage our industry’s hidden ‘talent’ with some healthy competition and a lot of fun. We’ll also be raising money for charity.”

Last year’s event raised over £4,000 for the British Red Cross China Earthquake Appeal and The Copenhagen Youth Project, a local Kings Cross youth charity.

This year’s Best Band will get to nominate a charity of their choice, and the organisers are hoping to significantly increase the revenue generated.
