It's coming to an end...

Well... here it is, my last week at Punch (sigh!) :(!

I've had such a great experience here gaining a real understanding of what organising a festival requires.
I have also managed to develop my personal skills, especially my confidence when meeting new people.

I feel privalidged to have been given this experience at Punch and work so closely with such hardworking people. They give so much to new, young artists, giving them guidance and exciting opportunities.

Being at punch has given me a true insight into what it's like to work up to a music festival, develop my techniques in promotion and also the chance to meet some interesting and extremely talented people.

I know that all the hard work from Josie, Cynthia, Ammo and Nusra will pay off with the success of the Bass Festival.

Oh and sitting for hours filling envelopes with brochures and sticking addresses onto them really was worth it!

I'm looking forward to helping out at MC's for life! And if any opportunities arrive in the future at Punch i won't hesitate to accept! :)!

Thanks Punch!

P.s. Don't forget to visit www.bassfestival.co.uk to check out the events that are taking place during Bass Festival 2008!

I hope to see you there! :)

Bass Festivals in the past

If the information on the websites don't tempt you to come to the Bass festival this year then take a look at these press releases i just found from previous years!

• I like this interpretation of BASS -

'BASS Festival Puts Birmingham at the heart of the music map

Thursday, 1st June 2006.

In summer people tend to assume that festivals take place over 3 days in fields full of tents, but Punch Records have but together BASS (Birmingham Arts and Street Sounds), an urban music festival that spans across Birmingham throughout the whole month of June.'

So, forget Glastonbury, V festival and Leeds this year- Bass is set to be Bigger and better than previous years and one not to be missed!

Updates at Punch!

It's all exciting stuff here at Punch as Nusra is planning the travel for the artists at Bass!

They shall begin to arrive in the lovely cities that are Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester, Derby and Manchester to perform and involve you in their exciting conferences in around 2 weeks time!

Aswell as the artists coming from America and Africa there are many local artists that most of you will look up to and can't wait to see!

The brochures have been published and are being sent out as i write this!

They have already been dropped off at the Central Library, The Yardbird, Tempest Records and Hatman in Birmingham so go check them out, take one home and hand them out to your friends! Take advantage! They're free! Plus i had to dragg them there in this sun so go take a look!

Also, The Bass Website is being updated every day with more exciting events, venues and more information on the artists.

If you haven't already add us on Myspace and Facebook- you never know what you might come across or who you will meet!
