History gets remixed! Strap in as Northern Lights, Durham University's National A Cappella Champions, takes you on a musical journey through time. From ancient legends to modern icons, we bring the greats of history to life through powerhouse vocals, stunning harmonies and award-winning choreography. Packed with pop bangers, sharp comedy and (somewhat...) accurate historical accounts, this is history as you've never experienced it before! Come for the laughs, stay for the vocal brilliance, and leave wondering why history was ever taught any other way!
