Lunchtime school of rock

A free lunchtime talk will see Teesside University Business School lecturer Alex Gillett share his passion for rock music.

Alex plays guitar with The Eruptors, who have earned praise from the likes of rock music magazine Kerrang. He will talk about his music as part of our Culture on Campus programme.

Let There Be Rock can be heard from 1.00pm to 2.00pm on Wednesday 11 November in Room G0.13, Phoenix Building.

The band’s sound has been described as ranging from short sharp shocks of adrenalin fuelled mayhem, to lighters-in-the-air power ballads. They have enjoyed success with two self-produced albums and has a third in the pipeline.

Alex said: 'When I am teaching business students I can relate to my experiences in the music industry. Topics like music distribution and promotion are real business issues. The University supports me wearing both hats.'

He will be joined during the talk by band members Geoff Irwin and Gareth Dylan Smith. The band will also perform some semi-acoustic versions of songs from their albums.

Admission is free and there is no need to book. For details about Culture on Campus email j.webster@tees.ac.uk.
