Sam: research on student night life for V.T

Students:
Number of students in City aged 18 and over:
Over 85,000
Manchester has four Universities, Manchester, UMIST, Manchester Met and Salford.
There are also another 14 Universities and higher education institutions in surrounding areas, making the total population of almost 350,000 students within an hour's drive time of Manchester.



Student population: 50,000



Manchester’s strong music history has led to a great Manchester nightlife along with some great student nights in Manchester.
There is a wide selection of music genres in Manchester’s nightclubs. Here is the ultimate guide to the best student (and student friendly) clubs in Manchester.
5th Avenue is a student favourite. There is a cheap and cheerful feel about the club and drinks are cheap. It is best to get to 5th Avenue early to avoid long queues. Wednesday night is a hot pick and you will usually find both floors of the club overspilling with students. The music takes a mainstream indie feel with dance tracks added in for extra spice.

Tue 8th... Pete: first act

Today, the acts from lever street came down and we did a practice rehearsal. we made an interview room behind one of the walls and then had all the main studio set up with 3 cameras, one on a dolly. we made the lighting look creative to set the atmosphere. Because Erin wasn't here, i took over to be the interviewer. i was also the floor manager for the interview room where i had to listen out for when the act has finished in the main studio and make sure they are in the interview room in good time  counting down for the start of the interview.
