CONCORDE
2
BIMM has a very special relationship
with one of the most important live music venues in
the country: Concorde 2. For 5 days a week
BIMM students engage in Live Performance classes
on the same stage and using the same amazing 40,000
watt PA system as the established artists who play the
venue every week.
The venue is also used for seven gigs
throughout the BIMM year. These gigs are invariably
sold out and students get the chance to play in front
of hundreds of people with pro sound, lights and backline. |
