Description
Kick off the winter season with a bang at Centre for Music’s (CfM) Battle of the Bands.
The Centre for Music is hosting a free concert where UWE Bristol bands will be taking the stage with a supporting set from UWE Bristol's Big Band.
The University is brimming with musical talent, and this is the best place to witness the magic in person. A panel of judges - Ash Tucker (Mobile Guitar Tuition) and Leon Pattrick from Noods Radio will deliberate and ultimately award the winners a professional recording session at Real World and a slot in CfM’s Festival of Sound at The Louisiana.
If you're interested in competing, register now to send us your demo. All members of your band must be UWE Bristol students and CfM members.
