Started in mid-2004,
Renaissance Child were first called "Friginity", and only had
three members, James on Lead
guitar, Rob on Rhythm guitar and Dave on vocals. They only played one
gig, and finally managed to persuade Jonny to join, who would be the
drummer. A name change to Renaissance followed and 3 months after the
new line-up, Renaissance had their first gig, Kingsfest, which was run
by their school. This then lead to the band recording their first demo
CD, titled "National Minority". Then by a mutual
understanding, James left the band, and in stepped Marcus on Keys and
Bass. This change brought a new sound and dimension to Renaissance. They
now had bass, and keys occasionally. After a lack of gig opportunities,
Renaissance played their first gig with Marcus at their school, wooing
the passers by that heard the start of something exciting. They then
went onto play at Winfest, having sold 47 tickets and playing in front
of around 80 people.  They had a
break from gigging, in order to focus on their next CD, "Above the
Noise", which was recorded on Christmas Eve 2005. Their next gig
would see them do battle against some of Winchester's top young bands in
their age group, of which they won to go through to final and compete
for the prize of being Blue Heat winners. This was in front of over 200
people at Winchester Guildhall. Sadly due to the nature of the
competition, it wasn't to be Renaissance who would win. However, that
night the name was again changed to "Renaissance Child". So
now to the present. RNChild are constantly trying to raise the standard
of their song writing, and are working on their latest CD, which is
looking to have a more mature sound. Welcome to the Revolution...
