IT'S THE Autumn term again, and that means loads or great bands are lined up to play in the quite literally meagatastic LCR (mate!)
The term begins with EMF - the seven lads from the Forest of Dean who graced us with their presence not so long ago (although I can't actually remember when exactly). Next up is the Saw Doctors (see the interview opposite) followed by Pop Will Eat Itself the very next day . On October 10, Ugly Kid Joe make an appearance; the Christians and the Pogues are next (and the Christians have already sold A LOT of tickets - well they actually haven'tsold them, butthosenicepeople in Ents have been working very hard.) More about the rest of the bands playing in October in the next issue of Concrete - they include Bob Geldof (hopefully leaving his breakfast show behind) and the luverly Joan Armatrading. See you later ... .l'm off to buy my ticket for Bjom Again ...
EMF play the LCR on October 1
A HOST of famous authors will be gracing UEA with their presence as a part of The Arthur Miller Centre ' 'literary festival." The University is to maintain its fabulous literary reputation with such names as William Golding, John Fowles and Iris Murdoch visiting the campus. Due to the great success of last year's festival, which boasted such great visitors as Salman Rushdie (who came

out of hiding for a surprise appearance), P D lames and the man who the lectures are named after, Arthur Miller, a second term of lectures has been organised.

"There is nowhere in Britain that can put two lecture series like these end to end, certainly no other university in Britain could" - Prof Bigsby, Dean EAS The series of lectures were organised by ProfChris Bigsby, Dean of EAS, who said it was ''hellish hard work" to organise. Prof Bigsby is particularly excited about the appearance of John Fowles and William Golding whom are normally reluctant to appear in public. He stressed that it was a wonderful opportunity to allow the audience to question the au-
thors about aspects of their work, boasting that: ' 'there is nowhere in Britain that can put two lecture series like these end to end, certainly no other university in Britain could.'' The lecture series is to continue throughout the year with a proposed visit from Joseph Helier of "Catch 22" fame. Susan Sontag will be the first author to appear on Wednesday October 7, followed by Iris Murdoch on Wednesday 14. John Fowles is at UEA on Wednesday 21 October. Watch out for exclusive interviews with some of these writers only in Concrete.
