Newstead Live is calling for youth volunteers who are interested in gaining experience in live performance management to assist with Fred Smith’s show Sparrows of Kabul.
Well-known Australian singer-songwriter Fred Smith and his band will appear in concert at the Newstead Community Centre on Friday June 2 followed by a songwriting workshop for young aspiring songwriters and musicians on Saturday June 3 and event organisers would love to offer local young people the opportunity to volunteer and learn vital skills in event management, promotion, performance and staging.
Newstead Live Festival Director Kelly Skinner said that it is a great opportunity for young people to learn about the entertainment industry.
“In the past we have had young people organising the Live and Local Stage for the January festival assisted by mentors to help them curate the stage and book performers,” Kelly said.
“We’re looking for people to promote this latest show which will give them experience with PR and marketing, running social media posts, taking photos and videos, stage assistant and front of house. It’s a great way to gain experience in the industry.”
Don’t miss out on a wonderful opportunity to get involved in the music industry. Newstead Live has a Live and Local Stage run by young locals, so this is a chance to start getting involved. Volunteers must be 15+ years or older.
For more information about volunteer roles, email or call Kelly Skinner at nedkelski@yahoo.com.au or 0448 234 758. Or register your interest online at newsteadlive.wixsite.com/website-22.
