Anas Iqbal, sabbatical officer and event organiser, said: “We have held Qawwali events for the last five years, twice a year. It’s a night of music and dance and a celebration. It’s a way of saying thank you to everyone and to give all those students who are graduating something to enjoy and remember.”
