Musician/Band

Who are we:

We are the UoD official Musician and Band Society! We aim to build friendships through incredible socials, jamming sessions and pre-planned gigs! This is the perfect society for you if you enjoy making, playing or listening to any type of music!

Our sessions:

We hold weekly jamming sessions every Wednesday and Friday, 7-9 pm at Markeaton campus music rooms  (MS219A, MS219C & MS218). Members can come along to play music together in a judgement-free zone, bring along any instruments/equipment you'd like to use.
