About Me

NTU RockSoc offers an alternative to the usual student lifestyle of trendy bars and pop music.

We have our own fortnightly club night, Assault , which offers the very best in rock, metal and punk.
Our weekly meetings at Speak Easy include a variety of activities, and at least twice a term we head out to other cities to sample the night life. The usual targets are Birmingham (R.I.P. Eddies!!), Sheffield, Manchester and London. Other trips and events have included: Alton Towers, Cadbury World and Lazer Quest!

All in all, if your a student at NTU who has an alternative outlook on life, then come join us!
