I remember the first time I saw William Beckett perform live. His band, The Academy Is…, were supporting Fall Out Boy in 2006 with The Hush Sound. Like the good little enthusiast that I was I rushed to a store and bought their album Almost Home as soon as I found out I’d be seeing [Read more...]
I guard a database of names, like a dragon guards its gold. You’ve possibly already realised that I’m describing my Facebook friends list. I remember my Fresher’s week when it seemed so important to get as many people on to my list as quickly as possible. I didn’t want to be socially irrelevant as soon [Read more...]
In case you have been absent from Twitter, Facebook, and even Tumblr, you might have noticed that many students have been enraged by the fact that Keele has dipped into its funds (created by student tuition and taxes) to put signs around campus.

Lecturers aren’t huge fans of Wikipedia on a bibliography. But should its use be forbidden as it so often is? [Read more...]
In the days following the assumed conclusion of the Boston Marathon Bombings, I have heard a lot of people downplaying the severity of the bombings. I have heard everything from the likes of ‘there are more people who die in Syria on a daily basis from bombings’ to ‘More kids die from a lack of [Read more...]
Paul Sayers, KeeleSU’s de facto deputy RAG Officer, writes to Concourse to explain why you could be the next standard-bearer for charity fundraising at Keele.

The Student Paintball scene has grown in the UK recently and The National Paintball Centre in Penkridge has hosted the UK Student Cup for the last 2 years.
