I joined the team just ahead of the Beverley Folk Festival 2006 to give a hand with marketing and promotion after working in the media industry for a number of years.  Following the success of the event I continued to work on festival admin plus the feedback and analysis. This was used to create a working plan for an even better event for 2007. I also worked on the Nu> Routes tours ensuring things ran as smoothly as possible for the artists and venues involved.

 

From mid September 2006 I took on admin tasks for Adastra and Moneypenny  helping to keep the agencies running efficiently. I also took on some agency work for a small number of  Adastra acts and have been heavily involved with organising subsequent tours for The Black Umfolosi 5. This included some dates in other parts of the world including Italy, Canada, and Barbados - where I was lucky enough to join them for a few days. For 2008  I am working with Adastra agents and artists on our revised roster.

 

For a number of years I have organised local music venues The Processed Pea and Cherry Burton Arts, and can still occasionally be persuaded to strap on an acoustic and knock out a song or two. I`m still involved with production, songwriting and recording when time permits.
