Sorry, apparently it's a management thing...).

Woodys Bar. 20:00 to 23:00
On March 12th, we are putting on an Alt/Folk night at Woodys, with some very talented musicians lined up.

Live Music Jam Session and Social
Rutherford Bar
Many of you fine people have been contacting us asking if we can hook you up with some like-minded musicians, so we decided to organise something special for you...
We're holding a joint social/jam session in Rutherford Bar, and (due to the lack of available seminar rooms) the general corridor and quad areas around that part of Rutherford. Come along to have a few drinks and for the opportunity to meet some musicians, then head off round to a quieter space to see if you can be like John and Paul, or if you'll end up more like John and Edward.
We'll try and sort some drinks offers so that it's cheaper for you to lose your inhibitions before playing music with a bunch of strangers.
See you there :)Facebook event: RSVP here

Then onto some crazy Canadians...

The Live Music Society's weekly open mic nights have been rebranded 'Rutherford Unplugged', and are being relaunched at the end of Freshers' Week - a perfect, slightly more chilled-out night to recover from partying hard earlier in the week.
We've got a few regular acts, including an acoustic set from UKC musicians Black Sun Down, as well as a guest act from Orange St. There will also be plenty of spaces in our line-up for you to cheekily borrow a guitar and sing on the spur of the moment... If you want to book yourself a slot, email tpc7@kent.ac.uk and we'll see what we can do, or you can turn up on the night.

Sorry, apparently it's a management thing...)
Starting the first week of term we'll continue to unplug Rutherford every Thursday from 8pm, and we're always looking for new faces to recommend for our monthly nights at Orange St, so it's well worth braving the microphone :)
