'Setting the Stage II'
LIve Event Production Training Workshop
March 2024

Back by demand, the Fund's 'Setting the Stage Ii' training workshop in March 2024 saw 20 young people take part in this innovative event, getting hands-on experience running sound, lights, backline and event management under the guidance and supervision of industry professionals, with live bands providing sound checks. Whilst last year's event broke new ground, the latest workshop was even better.

Here's what some of the participants have said about the latest 'Setting the Stage'

"The whole event was amazing, it's a wonderful chance to meet new people who are exxperts in this area, and to learn from professionals who have been in the game for a long time."

Owen H -Trainee StS II

"This was an amazing experience. The tutors were all friendly and patient, and were very enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge. I thought the setup of the day and the fact that there were real bands was unique and allowed us to get a proper feel for what it would be like to work in these roles."

Emma R - Trainee StS II

"The event was a great way to introduce participants to of some of the technical and production aspects that happens behind the scenes. And a good opportunity for them to meet people working in the local industry and further a field."
