Love Music Love Events......

“Love Music, Love Events, Love LMU” was co-founded in December 2009 by Zal Boransel.  Its aim was to forge links between the alumni, students and staff of the Events Management and Music & Media Management degrees at London Metropolitan University with event and music industry professionals. It hosts an annual networking event showcasing performers and DJ’s.

As lecturer Ivna Reic said “The best way to learn about events is to actually run them….it is an event for the students by the students and as such should be a wonderful experience for all”.

In 2010 the event was held at the Horatia Pub in Holloway Rd.  In 2011 the event moved a few doors along to the Rocket. This year saw a return to the Horatia.

The 2012 event had no end of talent on display. The live performances showed a variety of musical styles. The show was opened by Teamonkey, who played a great set. Amplification was a little loud for people trying to network, but OK if you’d gone to hear the music.  The next performers were soloists and duos with amplified acoustic guitars, so amplification was not such a problem. And, to add to the diversity, James and Waby included a harmonica in their act. Others acts included Kelz, Junior P, and Kass Man.

Alumni from the event industry included Madame Blah and Invitation to Events. Alumni performing included DJ Lusinda. Now if only that other Alumnus, Oritsé Williams of JLS had made the party....
