Monday 26th September
Meet at the Students’ Union for 6:30pm (Show starts at 7pm)

Direct from a sell-out run at the London Palladium, The Sound of Music tells the story of the von Trapp family's flight across the mountains and works its magic once again, for young and old alike. The unforgettable score includes some of the most memorable songs ever performed on the musical stage including My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev'ry Mountain, The Lonely Goatherd, and of course the glorious title song The Sound of Music.

They are the singing secret that the stars have kept to themselves, the vocal group with a word-of-mouth reputation for spicing up the parties of supermodels, heads of state and billionaires with their blend of razor-sharp harmonies and jaw dropping beatboxing. But now, after selling out London’s legendary Roundhouse, a series of electrifying festival appearances and a starring role in the latest T-Mobile flash-mob advert The Magnets are emerging as one of the must see acts on the current British music scene.

Pub Quiz

A firm favourite with Newcastle students, ‘The Hancock’ will be hosting a pub quiz from 8-10pm. Not only does The Hancock have great food and drinks deals, it is also conveniently located right next to the Robinson Library!
