Students’ Union – Union 2
WHAT TO EXPECT:
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 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.
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.
Free entry, no ticket required. For bands wanting to compete, please complete this form https://go.uwe.ac.uk/bob25
