Final preparations are being made for the first recital. Date has been set as 01/02/2012, 7pm at Kingsway Campus. Here’s a bit about the night, taken from the Facebook event page:

Jazz Cafe
An evening of performance and academic presentation.

Opening the evening will be Songwriting & Composition student Sophie Ballamy, performing an acoustic set of her own beautifully crafted original material.

In between the music will be Popular Music Studies student Ben Griffiths, with a presentation entitled “Take The Power Back” – a theoretical cultural study of Rage Against The Machine reaching the Christmas number one in 2009.

Finally Stu Readman & Ash Turner will be performing a recital of a wide variety of jazz fusion material, amongst other genres. Both are highly competent musicians and this is a fantastic opportunity to see the two in full flow!

This is a free event, and there is the opportunity to bring your own alcohol (within reason). All are welcome.

Looking forward to it now!
