Paul Gibson, Programme Manager, Creative Arts at the College of West Anglia said: ‘It is always great to see the music students bring their hard work together and perform each term. The music courses offer them the opportunity to explore a range of music genres and perform and produce cover versions as well as their own compositions. The gigs this term was as varied as ever, and it is exciting to see the collaboration of students working together across the different levels.’ The stream from Night One can be viewed here The stream from Night Two can be viewed here Photography by Matthew Jessop.
