Scouting for Girls would be good as already mentioned, or The Hoosiers.

Some uni's get great acts, ours seemed to a few years back also.

Oxford Brookes have Vernon Kay doing a DJ set, how about Pat Sharp? :P :laugh: ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4696.htm#4696 lanajayne86 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:38:12 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4693.htm#4693phantom planet ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4693.htm#4693 hughgb Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:50:05 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4533.htm#4533 http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4533.htm#4533 craig_runt Sun, 24 Feb 2008 22:32:52 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4498.htm#4498 http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4498.htm#4498 mattblackall Wed, 20 Feb 2008 11:30:51 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4496.htm#4496 http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4496.htm#4496 thegumqueen Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:20:02 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4494.htm#4494
im glad the cuban brothers are busy cos they were awful last year i thought.

i think a breaks dj would be good, someone like a-skills, dreadzone, freestylers etc.

i think you shouldnt blow big bucks on a big band- its gona sell out anyway so why not use more of the budget on other things like lasers, decor or maybe a few freebies for everyone who attends to remind them of their night ]]> http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4494.htm#4494 peachyraver Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:11:55 GMT General discussion > Social:Life - chat about events at the Union http://www.upsu.net/go/int/rss/-/forums/v/message,3,4490.htm#4490

Sadly the Cuban Brothers are hosting a festival which is on the same weekend so we can't have them.... but there are plenty more great acts out there.

The GO Team are getting many thumbs up from people - and would be absolutely awesome for that feelgood vibe for the last celebration of the year!

WEAPONS OF SOUND - you've probably not heard of them - but they are an absolutely amazing live act and would go down fantastically at the ball.

For some other ideas... 2manyDJs, Ocean Colour Scene, or the Cuban Bros would be wicked again!! But if I were able to choose, it would definitely be WOS!!!

And here's a little video - the sound quality just doesn't do them justice though..
