Review: Bacchanalia
Hugh M Casey Ζωή Σοφία Εὐτυχία Melodies and people dancing beneath brightly strung lights, smiling, warm. Φαντασία. Simplicity untouched within Younger Hall. The inaugural event of Bacchanalia was smooth and carefree. Between 9 pm and 2 am there was no silence. Quickly inside the door was quiet chat, laughter at the human statues guiding you […]
Music Review: DONT WALK 2017
Marina Carnwath DONT WALK is simply an extremely professional enterprise. The night, in its entirety, seemed meticulously orchestrated and executed, with the arrival, show, and after party flowing into one another with minimal disruption.

REVIEWED: THE ST ANDREWS BALL
The St. Andrews Ball, held on the eve of the St. Andrew’s Day celebrations, was this year’s follow up to the success of the 600th Anniversary Ball. Held on Lower College Lawn, the ball ably repeated the triumph of its predecessor, with guests leaving in high spirits, armed with Mexigo burritos. The venue was beautifully […]
