It’s that time of year again - yes, Christmas, if you haven’t noticed by the endless loop of jingles blaring from speakers and OTT decorations littering the streets. But also, Gig 2 here at Westwood Campus!
On the 14th of this month the Music Department will be hosting their second gig and final one of 2016, which overall, hasn’t been the best year what with saying goodbye to over 150 famous faces over the past 12 months including iconic artists such as Motorhead’s Lemmy, Prince, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen and jazz artists including Sharon Jones and Mose Allison; as well as many other actors, radio presentors, and well-reknowned artists and individuals. On top of that we’ve had Brexit; seen Donald Trump win the US presidential election, gained a new female Prime Minister, and more personally, discovered we will be losing our beloved building and some of our tutors... I’m sure this year has blindsided us all at some point.
All the more reason to get our creative juices flowing and work on sending a message out to the world: this year may have been crap, but that’s all the more reason to show we won’t be defeated and convey our feelings through our work.
Acts from all the different levels will be performing on Wednesday night, collaborating with one another to showcase some amazing talent.
Acts will include the band Sheepskin (see their interview on pages 5-6), a festive Christmas Elf Band, a funk DJ set from Warm Dogs Milk, and other music from Eva Donkin, Megan James, Emily Mulford, Jessie Law, Beth Harrop, Kayleigh Williams, and more.
Everybody is welcome - doors open at 7pm, with entrance just £2 on the door for non-students. A physical copy of What's Up? Westwood Magazine will also be available for free at the entrance!
