YUSU claims refund for Freshers’ Ball no-show
YUSU are currently persuing a refund from the agency representing intended Freshers’ Ball headliners Noah and the Whale. The band, who failed to appear at the event, attributed their absence to frontman Charlie Fink’s ill-health. The no-show left many first year students feeling disappointed. “To be honest, I feel like I’ve paid £30 to go to a racecourse and buy all my own drinks,” commented one student in Derwent after the event. The Union substituted the nu-folk outfit with a DJ. “It wasn’t really the same though, when we’d been told Noah and the Whale would be there,” the student added.



Good of YUSU for trying, but I’m not holding my breath that any of this refund will get passed on to students…
And for the record, the event was a disappointment.
It’s a disappointment every year…
