Description

Kick off the winter season with a BANG at CfM’s 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 with special guest James Threlfall from BBC Introducing West, will deliberate and ultimately award the winners a professional recording session and a slot in CfM’s Festival of Sound at The Louisiana.
