You will be asked to write a written review of a popular music performance event. You may
review a different gig of your choice by a British or Irish artist, but you will not be
reimbursed for the ticket.
Your review should cover the musical aspects of the gig, with critical reference to some
specific pieces of music, the performers and performance style, together with some
contextual information about the musicians and their music, the venue, and the audience.
Your review must adopt an appropriate style: journalistic in tone and consistent with other
quality reviews to be found across music review sites on the internet or in
magazine/newspaper publications. Your style will be considerably improved by reading a
wide range of gig reviews across these media prior to writing your own.
