Feed up with cheese? Want to see more live music in Durham?

“Bursting the Bubble” aims to bring more quality music to Durham, we’ll be promoting and organising both live gigs and alternative club nights in and around Durham.

You can use this site to get all the details of what we’re upto, including full details on our upcoming events; find out about the bands playing for us, and get all the gossip on what we’ve got planned for the future.  Not only all that, but we’ll also be posting listings of other sources of alternative fun and entertainment going on in the Durham/Newcastle area.

Next term we’re going to burst the bubble for Oxjam, in a special charity gig to be hosted at Van Mildert College we’ll be showcasing some of the best local and breaking indie/electro bands out there.

The Venue

This, our debut event under the ‘Bursting the Bubble’ name will be hosted at Van Mildert College, part of the University of Durham. Student bar means student prices so this will definitely be a bargain night for both entertainment and beverage consumption.

We’ve also lined up some very special DUCKtails (cheap cocktails) and a BBQ, the proceeds from both of these will be going straight to charity. There’ll also be band merchandise on sale and a chillout area for those who would rather lounge back on a comfy sofa and enjoy the music.

After Party

After the gig we’ll be heading straight down to Fishtank (dragging all the bands with us!) where there’ll be an INDIE / ELECTRO CLUB NIGHT especially for Bursting the Bubble, with FREE ENTRY for gig-goers and DRINKS PROMOTIONS.
