We were thrilled to welcome back Skin – acclaimed recording artist, DJ, and lead singer of the multi-million-selling rock band Skunk Anansie – and her bandmate Ace, to the University this weekend for a workshop with our music students.
Skin and Ace took part in a Q&A and spoke with the students about their career and experience in the music industry. Selected students were also invited to perform their original music for Skin and Ace, who provided feedback on lyrics, performance and artistic identity. The session was filmed by our BA (Hons) Filmmaking students.
Students were also invited to the Skunk Anansie soundcheck at O2 Academy Leeds, where the band performed on Saturday 12 April as part of their European tour.
