There is a vast selection of talented musicians at UWL, who could come together and create something new and inspiring as members of the UWL Performance Society.We look to develop our members musical skills and stage presence, in an environment with a more 'hands on' approach.We will hold meet ups with exchange of knowledge about performance techniques and ideas, open mic nights, auditions for players aiming to play live, as well as planned workshops and rehearsals and social networking events, such as: live gigs, pub gatherings, showcasing events and society live events.Develop your musical presence and add to your course development, opening up unique and interesting opportunities to help you in your future career path.The year membership for the performance society covers the costs of your entry to our events over the year.This includes pub nights, live events, auditions, workshops and jams. It also allows you to use university instruments and equipment in rehearsals and on stage.MembershipYour membership fee goes towards the events that we put on as a community as well as sourcing experienced professionals to come in and share their knowledge through our workshops.As a member not only will you get the opportunity to start performing around London (if COVID allows it) but you will meet a great community of like-minded musicians who you can collaborate with and share great memories.£5Events and ActivitiesAs a society, we aim to give you the opportunity to collaborate with other musicians, societies and groups as much as possible.
