Stomp founders get honorary degrees in Brighton | |
(1 day later) | |
The creators of percussion group Stomp have been given honorary doctorates by the University of Brighton. | |
Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas founded the group, who use everyday objects as musical instruments, in Brighton in 1991. | |
They have since performed across the world and were part of the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony. | |
The honorary Doctor of Arts degrees were presented on Monday at a graduation ceremony at Brighton Dome. | |
The ceremony was the first of five days of degree presentations to more than 5,300 students. | |
Cresswell and McNicholas own the Old Market Theatre in Brighton, the first venue where they performed together, which they bought in 2010. | |
They said they were "humbled" to have been recognised for their work. | |
The university also awarded a Master of Letters degree to journalist and broadcaster Kathryn Flett. |
