This week, inspired by the playlist, I thought I’d write about a few of my favourite bands formed by (current or former) UoN students. Featured Image: The Terms The Avion The Avion are a Psych/Garage Rock band. Their 2021 single, …
Being a Musician at University
August 23, 2020
“I’m a musician. Are there many opportunities for me at uni?” It’s a question I hear time and time again at open days. And my response is always: “I’m a musican too! And I’ve never once felt like there weren’t enough musical opportunities at uni!” Even based on SB campus, I immediately had access to …
Songs That Sum up Being at UoN
November 30, 2016
The Proclaimers – 500 Miles Walking to the QMC on my first day of Freshers’ at 9am made me realise two things: 1) someone obviously had it against me to have me undergo this feat, but also 2) the campus is HUGE. Now, I enjoy the campus’ size as it is able to hide vast …
3 Creative Hobbies You Can Pick Up This Summer
July 1, 2016
Summer is now well and truly upon us like winter on Game of Thrones. It can be tempting to use this time to lie in bed all day and just relax, and whilst relaxing is certainly important after university, the long summer can be the perfect opportunity to gain some new skills. That may come …

February 5, 2014
As you may know, I have recently got into classic fm. Now I know nothing about classical music, who wrote what or anything- but I have been know to say ‘TUNE’ when something I like comes on. And classical music I feel is very emotive, and some pieces I have heard have really echoed my …
The soundtrack to my revision
January 16, 2014
I am lucky enough to have already finished exams, but I know a lot of people are still revising, so I won’t go on about it, much! During one of my many procrastination sessions I decided I needed some musical motivation and made a list of my 10 favourite remixes of 2013. So here’s that …
Time to Enjoy Things
April 16, 2013
Hey there readers, Happy Tuesday. So I usually post on Mondays but I’ve have been pretty bad at sticking to schedule recently, yet this week I was going to be organised. We have a week before Uni starts again, so I bashed out a 9-5 day of coursework yesterday because ‘the fear’ has leered its …
HOME
December 19, 2012
I’ve clicked my Ruby slippers, followed the scent –it’s my home Ratty!, told everybody I’m on my way (who gets all three references?) and I am home for Christmas. T minus 6 days and counting. Home is lovely and altogether too distracting for revision. I find the Christmas holidays so much harder to work …
