On Saturday night, students from our Popular Music and community programmes in Louth were treated to an unforgettable experience at
@biffy_clyro ’s show in the
@3arenadublin
The group were invited to arrive early for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the venue and stage, where they met members of the production team and learned about their creative process and career paths in the industry. They also got a rare chance to watch the show being built and sit in on the band’s soundcheck!
We’re incredibly grateful to our Strings Programme tutor
