James Laughlin took off to the Worlds Solos again this year, after representing the Cale as the first-ever drummer to attend the event. James went again this year, and ended up a fantastic 9th in the Semi Final – just missing out on that elusive final. Against a lot of fantastic drummers, James played well and represented the band and New Zealand incredibly well.

Congratulations to James – a fantastic achievement considering he and Mrs Laughlin only married some weeks ago!
