To mark the beginning of the new term, the University of Sheffield is putting on a number of gigs curated by bands and the lovely folks from South Yorkshire's thriving music scene. The first one is next Wednesday (October 18) and features hotly tipped indie-folk outfit Tiny Dancers, soon to release their first EP on Parlophone, Lennie and Slow Club.
Tickets are available from the Union box office and other select Sheffield outlets, open to non students too (but we're told to still expect silly drinks prices like £1.95 for a pint of Grolsch or Strongbow and only £6.50 for a bottle of wine... can't be bad!)
The schedule reads something like this:
Tiny Dancers, 18.10.06
