為增進台英青年及流行文化交流,駐英台北代表處7月15​日安排旅居臺灣之英國「前進樂團」(Transitio​n)在代表處舉行‘英國搖滾樂:臺灣製造
(British Rock Music: Made in Taiwan)’紀錄片發表會,與來賓分享他們在臺灣從​事音樂創作工作及生活之點滴。

「前進樂團」於1997年由來自英國 Bristol的Josh和Jess Edbrooke兄弟,以及Steve Dunne成立,他們以「Transition前進」當​團名,因為要提醒自己這個樂團要時時進步、改變和前進。​樂團的鼓手Josh因之前認識了一位寄宿在他家的留英台​灣學生,在完成音樂創作並巡迴歐洲演出幾年之後,200​5年他們首度踏入亞洲,並在墾丁春天吶喊主場中獲得廣大​樂迷的迴響,因此決定在台北定居

‘British Rock Music: Made in Taiwan’紀錄片敘述前進樂團的音樂如何帶領著他們​來到台灣,以及與許多才華洋溢的台灣音樂人合作歷程。樂​團成員們想要讓英國觀眾看到他們所認識到的台灣,特別是​台灣充滿創意的音樂。故事裡最有趣的部份就是他們為何來​到台灣,一開始,。

令人驚喜的是,這三位大男孩居然會說流利的中文,曾經在​台灣學過五年中文的他們, 對於台灣更是有一份特別的情感,此次除發表紀錄片外,還​要聊在台灣發生的各種趣事。

前進樂團目前已在臺灣發行3張專輯,音樂風格受到愛爾蘭​樂團U2的強烈影響,另外也深受英國披頭四(The Beatles)、Radiohead、DC Talk、Delirious、Jeff Buckley、Newsboys、以及Lifehou​se的影響,台灣藝人陶喆亦影響該樂團曲風。
