A return to rock for Gower College Swansea students
Two years of Covid restrictions have had a huge impact on the music industry. With performances either banned or heavily restricted, it has been a tough time for aspiring young musicians. Music performance students at Gower College Swansea adapted as best as they could, but closed-door live streams and socially distanced seated audiences haven’t been quite the same.
This all changed on Valentine’s Day as the learners took to the Bunkhouse in Swansea for a night of music.
