What is the Music team?

The Music Team at URY has its hands in a lot of pies. The bulk of URY's programming is dedicated to specialist music shows, and these are the people that often make them happen. With various projects running throughout the year (including Local Lowdown, the flagship programme for local talent!), URY Music makes sure that the station is filled with amazing music at all times.

We also have a large vinyl collection, numbering 13,000~ at last count, and many CDs with which enthusiasts will surely have a blast.

Caitlin likes to get her music team press access to festivals such as Parklife, Boomtown and Leeds Festival. In these festivals, the content produced is far superior than anything LSR could ever dream of.

In short, if you like music - and want to chat about it with other music enthusiasts - then this is the team for you! What 'precisely' the team does is down to them; so come along to meetings and find out!

When are the URY Music team active?

Of course, music is an extremely important part of the station, so they have no singular event each week. However, music meetings occur every Tuesday at 6pm. Check the Slack to see where it's being hosted next and come and say hi!

I want to make my own music show with the Music team!

You can! Music is the bread and butter of URY, and new shows are being added all the time. You don't need to let the Head of Music know, but if you'd like to, do! They can help you with anything you need.
