Dr Clare Duffin, lecturer and programme leader for MA Music at UWS, said: “This year’s Arts and Media Showcase is especially exciting because it gives us the chance to share our students’ work more widely across the west of Scotland.
“Running in Ayr, Glasgow and Paisley throughout May, the programme reflects both the range of creative practice at UWS and the depth of talent within our student community.
“It’s particularly special this year because we get to celebrate 25 years of our BA (Hons) Commercial Music programme – a milestone that reflects the legacy and impact of music education at UWS.
“And what better way to recognise everything our students have achieved than to showcase the next generation of creative talent as they prepare to make their mark in the industry.”
Full details of the programme and ticket information are available on the UWS website.
