Life as the hub Intern…
Life as the hub’s Fertilizer Festival Intern has been fantastic so far, nearly 3 weeks in and I feel like I’ve been here 3 months! That is due to not only to being made to feel very welcome and at home by the lovely directors and hub ‘family’ but also from the fact that there’s been plenty of work to get stuck into right from day one! It is just what you would want from an internship, plenty of hands on experience and responsibility, lots of expertise and friendly advice to call upon and a fantastic network of contacts and organisations within the arts and creative world to tap into.
I’m really enjoying working on the Fertilizer Festival, it’s a brilliant project and is allowing me to combine all my interests; promotion, live music, marketing and online and digital promotional techniques. I’m really looking forward to the Festival landing in May, and experiencing some underground and slightly left field music from Poland!
I’ll leave you with a few of my favourite links from my first few weeks at the hub…
- Firstly my favourite band at the moment Strawhouses who I’m sure I am now beginning to annoy my fellow hubites with by talking about them so much.
- The Fertilizer Festival on Twitter… please follow us!
- hub operations manager Andi’s RT @Shunt project which I very much enjoyed at The Shunt Lounge.
