Guildford’s Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) celebrates another successful year of students passing through its doors by showcasing 2016’s talented study body at the Electric Theatre.
The annual show to mark the achievements of the most hardworking and dedicated students has been ramped up this year with four jam-packed days and nights of entertainment.
“I’m really excited about this year’s Summer Live. The range of styles is so varied that there is definitely something for everyone from acoustic acts to pure rock. The students have worked really hard and this really feels like the beginning of their journey. The atmosphere during Summer Live is so exciting. As a tutor, it’s my favourite time of year because you get to see the students grow and develop as musicians. It’s such a proud and fulfilling moment.”
Aly Duff, Vocal Tutor, ACM
