Hi guys!
- We are in the middle of exams, but what better way to have a break than by playing in the John Snow concert on the 14th of June.
- We are looking for some bands, groups or soloists to come and play at their JCR for an informal concert
- It’s gonna be such a fun night and a really nice break from exams / a celebration if you’ve already finished!
- If you want to play or sing, please message us on this account

Hi Guys!
This is your reminder post that we run a combined Big Band with John Snow in the Hub every Sunday 4-5pm!

Hi Guys!

Our first rehearsals for this week!

South Choir (mixed choir for all abilities) - 5:30-6:30pm, Monday 18th October in the Hub
We also had a hugely positive response to the idea of a Jazz Band and a jam session, which we will be starting in the next few weeks too!
