This year was about…

Orange RockCorps

Access All Areas - Orange RockCorps @ Wembley Arena

My brush with the music industry.

90.000 phone calls later I fulfilled my dream of working backstage to a massive gig and doing nothing less than artist liaison to Primal Scream.

Fact: P. Diddy earned my respect.

Alpha-ville Festival 2011

Man Bartlett @ Alpha-ville Festival 2011

Thanks to Olivia Bellas (again), I had the opportunity to work in one of the most original festivals happening in London. Digital arts, animation, electronic music and managing just about 30 volunteers. I was sleep-deprived but proud!

Fact #1: I am Jennifer Cardini’s newest fan.

Fact #2: According to Man Barttlet my colour is green!

Scar Tissue

The Paradox Club - Scar Tissue

Back to film, producer Mike Riley from Sterling Pictures (again) asked me to join the crew for this psychological thriller directed by Scott Michell.

Fact: I’m never going to be an extra in a movie again.

Farewell 2011!

My Primal Scream

We are only half way 2011 but I can already say that doing artist liaison for Primal Scream is one of the highlights of this year.

Though working at the Orange Rockcorps gig was already in my plans, the offer to do artist liaison was unexpected. Of course I couldn’t say no to this. Specially being a Primal Scream fan myself.

I exchanged only a few words with the band members in general, mostly to check if they had everything they needed or to apologize for any delays in the concert.

I did try to convince Andrew Innes to come along to our after party (I was talking to the band crew, when he came along. I think he might not have understood my accent, because he just laughed.)

I literally can’t say much else.

There was a lot of pressure, but it was a great experience and I would most definitely do it again.

Good news

RockCorps

I am officially with RockCorps until July.

It’s not film related work but I am very I mean, very excited about it.

It’s a project with a brilliant concept and great people attached to it, from all sorts of backgrounds such as film, TV, charity and music. For more information check www.orangerockcorps.co.uk.

The cherry on top is that I get to go to free gigs during the summer and the potential line up is very impressive. I can’t say more than that though

So a little pat on the back for me and if you also want free tickets all you have to do is give 4 hours of your time to one of our projects.

give, get given that’s what they say
