Bucks Discovers Fresh Music Talent with BBC Introducing


Our head of department Steve Partridge recently attended a showcase for our Audio & Music Production and Film & TV Production undergraduates, organized by UK Music. Bucks has pioneered and led the pilot initiative with BBC Introducing, shining the spotlight on fresh music talent, and discovering new bands, and Bucks has now been invited to help lead similar projects at other Universities and Colleges in the UK.

But most of all Steve was proud of the chance to showcase the talent here at Bucks, and get recognition from such leading figures in the industry for the hard work the students put in.
