The night before the conference we will be getting together for pre-conference drinks at the Leicester Tigers Clubhouse, situated within the stadium grounds. There is an opportunity to go on a guided tour of the stadium before the drinks, and our very own Stella Loftus will be bringing her band, Stella 'n The Loft, to play during the evening. It's the perfect opportunity to relax, meet old colleagues and make new connections outside of the conference itself.

Stella 'n The Loft

GeoPlace's own Stella Loftus will be playing in her band Stella 'n The Loft at the venue during the evening.
Performing as an acoustic duo with her husband Jim, they will be playing a mix of original music and covers by artists such as Janis Joplin, Snow Patrol, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young and Harry Styles to name a few. They started performing together in 2015, and since then have recorded 5 EPs with their former band members that can be found on most music streaming sites. Now back to an acoustic duo, which is how they started, they enjoy performing in local music venues in their home County, Kent whenever they get chance in their spare time, and support a lot of charity events and projects throughout the year with their music.
