The support act takes centre stage

It's not your average local music mag that finds itself the subject of a whole-day discussion event at a university - but then Nightshift isn't your average local music mag. The event, due to take place on 27th March courtesy of Oxford Brookes University's Popular Music Research Unit (PMRU), will feature contributions from academics, Nightshift writers, promoters and musicians, culminating appropriately enough with a Q&A with founder and editor Ronan - a man rightly named in WeGotTickets' INDIE50 two years ago for his services to the city's music scene over the past three decades.
