Hey Amy :smile:

I've applied for Songwriting at BIMM Brighton and I've got an assessment/audition in January some time. No idea how it's going to go but if all goes well then I'll probably need to find a pal to share a place with come October! What course have you applied for?

Thank you! Ah nice one, I was thinking of doing something on the business side but thought I'd have a crack at a performance course as I wasn't really sure about going to Uni at all until last month haha.

Nope I'm from the fine city of Norwich so I've got a bit of trek down there and have no idea what to do about accommodation...

No problem! You'll be fine :smile:
The performance course does look good though!
Norwich? quite the trek then? haha, I'm from Sheffield so i'll join you on that one :smile:
I know that they have someone who works for them that helps sort out housemates and accommodation for BIMM students, but I thought 'd find people on here as well to try and get to know some people :smile:

Hopefully but I've got contingency plans if it messes up so I'll just have fun with it :smile:
Yeah I found that George Ezra and a load of other big artists have been on similar BIMM courses so it must be alright!
Aha wow that's even more of a trek for you then, have fun with that :h:
Honestly I'm worried about what it's going to be like so it would be ace to know some before I get there :smile:

Hey Grace,
A house, yeah. I have no idea how we'd go about getting one haha. I think you have to contact the lady who works with BIMM, her name's Jackie Phillips (her details on are the website). She charges a small fee but she helps you find a house haha! :smile:
Are you from Brighton?

Ok, cool. :smile: I'll have a look at that. Now you've come to mention it I think I've already got her details. Sounds good. No, I'm actually from Bath (near Bristol) but Brighton was so lovely when I went to the open day! Seems like you have a long way to travel!

Oh cool! I've never been to Bath but I've heard it's so nice there! :smile: and I know! Haha I'm so far away! What date did you go to the open day? It's such a nice place isn't it?! :smile:

Yeah Bath is pretty nice too, I'm really lucky buuut I'd love a change of scenery! Ah yeah you are ages away! I'm 3 and a half hours driving so it could be worse I guess. Not sure when I went to the open day but it was earlier this year. I'd already completed my audition in September so i just need my a levels now...which will be fine! So excited! We can jam together some time haha

Hey I've only just caught up on all of this, I have some family in Bradford-on-Avon and Bath was really nice from what I remember! I haven't been to any open days but everyone is saying good things about it :smile: What did they ask you to do in the audition and was it pretty chill?

Hey :smile: Cool thats not too far! Yeah it's a nice place I think you'll love it. I'm not sure about guitar how it works for guitar but I had Antonio Angotti for my audition in Bristol. (You can audition at any BIMM apart from london) as it transfers - which is great. They asked me things about major/minor scales and pentatonc stuff up and down the neck. Bits about chords and some theory where they made me read notation from a board and had to play it (which I sucked at since I can only read tab) and of course the one track you prepare for them. To be honest, I can't really remember exactly what he asked me to play but nothing too daunting as far as I can tell! :smile: Good luck!

Sweet, I can't wait to look around it myself :smile: Ah that makes sense why I haven't heard from Bristol then! That's great thanks, should hopefully have some time to prepare over the holidays, even if I do suck at theory haha. Cheers, I'll let you both know how I get on :smile:
