The Stand’s Save the Date

The events to go to this half of the semester. Put them in your diary, get your mitts on the tickets, and go par-tay.

6th Feb – Kate Kennedy Pantomime

Greece the Musical  – If that’s not pun-y, then I don’t know what is.  Buchanan is the host for a tale of heroism, and yoghurt apparently. See ya there.

7th Feb – Escape from the Bubble

Fat Sams – A chance to get out of town for one night only, cheap drinks, and the chance to see Dundee.  Winner.  Perhaps your only chance to go and party without having to go the lizard. (Counting down to Ma Belles reopening)

8th Feb – Catwalk

The first fashion show to send us on our way as well as to round off RAG week.  “Life in Print” is bringing local and national fashion houses to Venue 1.

No words. Much excitement. Wow.

On Thursday 20th Feb the Itchy Feet Tour Bus will be pulling up outside the Union for an evening of shivering, shaking, sipping, swapping, snapping, swinging and swigging like none other.
If you’ve not been before, then expect old music for young souls. We are a totally unique night of Swing, Soul, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Rock n Roll and Ska!  Get your tickets here – http://itchyfeet.fatsoma.com/events/103941/
