      Activities and Societies: Band Society, led to joining Djevara (see above) and then many other music and arts projects along the way. The course was a split between 2 core modules per term of the business school, with 2 from the Law school, with a 5th to bring the two together. The Business and Law degrees comprised 4 modules concurrently per term; this degree added the fifth to combine the two. It was a relatively new degree, and only in its third year, a little wobbly at times, but well rounded and informed.

      The Low Fidelity Disconnect is an arts project established by Djevara and fronted by me as an extension of the band and our label imprint Genin. Our aim is to promote and encourage music and art, and to provide facilities and services to artists, musicians, and film makers. Services offered are broad in scope and application, from set locations for music videos, exhibition space, and a live venue.We spent around 6 years developing the concept in a converted warehouse in Seven Sisters in North London. During that time we used the space as a rehearsal studio for my own and other bands whom we knew, hosted around 30 live music showcases and art exhibitions, and provided a workspace for artists. We hired the space out at a low rate to photographers and film makers. Over the years we lived with some exceptionally cool and talented sculptors and painters. The final 2 years it was primarily a photography studio. I developed some key IT skills after taking some evening courses during the first couple of years, and set up a home small business network, hosting all our email, website, and M365. The project continues as LFD Studios where I continue to write and record my own music and play in various bands and projects. https://lfdstudios.co.uk Show less
