About Me

I am currently working freelance after Windsor Arts Centre closed its doors in December and recently organised Tommy Fest featuring Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel as well as campaigning with the WAY group to get a new Arts Centre open in Windsor. Amongst the projects I am working on at the moment include booking the music programme for the West Wing Arts Centre in Slough.

I was involved in Windsor Arts Centre for 25 years where I was General Manager, Volunteer Co-ordinator, Bar Manager and music programmer, starting as a volunteer. I was previously involved in bands before hand as a roadie, Manager and lighting engineer, and worked with bands such as Sledgehammer and Blue Murder amongst others.

During my time at the Arts Centre as well as programming regular events I have been responsible for organising Rock Week which is a band competition that has run for over 20 years, as well as Rock Week the Next Generation for under 18's. I also ran the Windsor Jazz Festival for 4 years, The Grass Roots Music Festival, the Small World Music Festival and the Windsor Guitar Festival. I am currently involved in the Songwriters Festival and a Latin Festival which will be held at the West Wing Arts Centre in Slough.

I have current First Aid, Fire Marshall Certificates as well as having experience of Health & Safety requirements, working with volunteers, dealing with hires and lettings Bar/ cellar work, arts administration and fundraising.
