Preview: UNICEF LIVE x The Mic
On the 30th November, a charity gig will take place at Spanky Van Dykes showing off the talent of our university with our display of talented local bands. Last year the event raised over £800 and was a great success, so this year it’s definitely not to be missed.
The line up so far consists of:
Hoodwinker
A mash up of alternative rock, indie rock and experimental music.

Leonora’s music is a dream folk fusion – marrying the resonant vocal styles of modern music with the story-telling element of more traditional folk songs.
