Music at Durham

There is a music room in most colleges I think....

There is a music room in Hatfield which although not very well soundproofed is better than the Aidan's one which is in or near to the ghetto that is A Extension and right next to someone's room!!

So therefore, on music rooms, Hatfield is better than Aidans.

Does anyone know if there are guitar amps in these music rooms? I would bring mine but it weighs a tonne and won't fit in the car. And I gave my practice amp away.

what about turntables?! any around at Durham?

Not really - you have to get used to Durham not being into that style of music. It's either cheese (someone playing a CD of crap all night) or live music with guitars, drums, etc.

Very few people are into trance/house or anything that involves skill mixing one record into the next. In fact, there is only ONE night (each week) that has something close to it, and that's Planet of Sound at the Student Union each week - which is half decent music (for Durham!) but the mixing is awful!!! One track ends and the other starts, haha!

If you want good house music, you can go to Newcastle though and go to a club called Digital on a Saturday night for "Shindig" - a big house music night in an awesome club!

yeah i realised. But of course i just hope there are ppl who are interested in house music, since otherwise im not gonna go by myself to newcastle I heard stuff about shindig...and actually I really wanna go there when Axwell is gonna be mixing..have u been there urself?????
Well if its thaat bad at durham, then ill try to make the ppl like house music))

I live in Newcastle, but unfortunately have never been to Digital - I hate myself for it!!!

But I've been to Shindig, as it used to be at another club (Foundation) which I used to go to all the time (though mostly went to a night called Promise - more trance than house). But then Digital opened and it was all spanking new so Shindig moved over there.

However I've heard amazing things about Digital - awesome sound system and lighting, great club, good atmosphere, etc etc. It's quite expensive but there really isn't much of a trance/house scene in the North East anymore, unfortunately!

You will find a few people who like house music, they DO exist, but not quite enough demand for a trance/house night! But I know I'll certainly be going to Digital sometime in the first term...hopefully!

ah sounds excellent! thanks for the information1! nice to know where to go!! from what ppl are saying it seems as though ill be spending more time in newcastle than in durham)) sounds like there is nothing decent to do in durham....clubbing-wise

Well no, you have to understand that at Durham you'll realise that clubbing in Durham IS crap...but you make such amazing friends at Durham that going out to a club is not about the music or even the alcohol, but just having an awesome night with your mates.

Some of the best nights out I've ever had have been in Durham, despite the awful music, because I just have a laugh with my closest friends. Have some drinks, dance to crap music, sing along to cheesy anthems, and walk back to college laughing with your mates - perfect night!

Parchment?! ^o)

Lol, you have to book them in most cases.
