bringing the ideas, the energy, and the audience

connecting artists of multiple genres with local communities by energising the city’s venues to deliver affordable, inclusive live entertainment experiences.

My Vision –

To build a hub that champions every genre of live entertainment while campaigning to bring accessible and affordable live performances and culture to the city, allowing artists, local venues, and communities to come together to ensure culture is not a luxury, but a living breathing experience accessible to all.

I am currently based at Music Mania, Hanley, where I work closely with local venues, charities and performers to bring the arts to Stoke-on-Trent. I actively work along side Stoke-on-Trent Classics – who have been bringing classical music to the city since 1970 – and The Mitchell Arts Centre who strive to improve the lives of Stoke-on-Trent citizens and in particular young people with their main focus will always be on those less advantaged.

Culture is not a luxury and it should be accessible to all.
