We had the pleasure of recording CfM’s 2025 Battle of the Bands winners on Monday at Real World Studios with lili and Sulé with Killing Time. It was such a wonderful day of music making, mic testing, roof shaking, drum bashing and beautiful singing with Maisy Preece manning the desk assisted by Xav and Sean.

We could not be more proud of the amazing work that our students have done in this room and we can’t wait to share the music made by some of Bristol’s finest musical talent.

We will be on the look out for UWE student bands for the 2026 Battle of the Bands, the winners of which get a professional recording session. So, watch this space and get practicing!!
