Folk - Production

Folk and Shöfolk are looking for a Production Manager, to be based at their studio at Great Western Studios. If you are interested in applying for this or know anyone who might be, they can send an e-mail to recruitment@macandi.com

We are in the process of trying to finalise a date for summer Open Studios. The date that is the immediate suggestion is May 20th & 21st; considerably earlier than we normally have the event, but hopefully avoiding the double whammy of half-term and the World Cup. Once comfirmed we will be trying to fix up a sponsor for the event - if you have any bright ideas about who we may approach for this please let vicky or myself know.

Aside from that I need to put a link to this blog on our website. If anyone can spare me 5 minutes to give me a tutorial in dreamweaver please let me know. Once that is sorted I fully intend to get my head round the whole dreamweaver thing so that I can re-design the website and approach all the artists for images and text so that they/you can all of their/your own page on the great western studios website. Am I getting ahead of myself? Only time will tell.

Oh . . . and if you haven't yet managed to see Felicity Warbrick's exhibition this weekend is the last that it is up. The joint show is called 'out standing' annd is at the Tricycle Theatre on Kilburn High Road, click here for further details.
