It will be a very generalised session and more specifics will be taught at the DJ lessons on Saturday and Wednesday mornings, which you book in advance.

Xpress nominated for SRA awards
Last night members of Xpress went over to the Brass Pig pub in Bristol to hear whether we’d been nominated for any of the Student Radio Association Awards that we’d entered back in July. Guess what?! WE HAD!
Xpress’ Owen Richards has been nominated for the category ‘Best Male Presenter’ and we received a station nomination for the ‘Best Live Event or Outside Broadcast’ category for our extensive coverage of the The Welsh Varsity 2014.
We’ll be attending the ceremony at the Indig02 in London on the 6th of November to find find out whether we’ll be taking home any silverware!
