I am here for Networking

About Me

The Music Collective are a bunch of like minded individuals from all walks of life, covering all tastes in music, who came together back in 1991 to put together a free outdoor gig for the communities of Wakefield. Now in it's 16th year, this gig has grown to become a fully flegded 2 day music festival featuring 2 stages, 20+ bands, a beer tent, market stalls, street theatre and more!The Collective is open to anyone to join... we're always in need of new members to assist in the organising & running of the Clarence Park Music Festival, staffing of the Pontefract Liquorice Festival, and anything else that falls into our laps to take care of.We meet fortnightly in a local bar (the cheapest in town as it goes!), and currently consist of 10 members.Some of us are musicians, some aren't. Some are techies and ex-sound industry folks, some aren't. All you need to join is a willingness to contibute towards sharing the workload...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

It's Coming...! 26th & 27th July 2008...

Clarence Park is not our festival... it's YOUR festival. It takes 6 months to organise, and 4 days to run and we cannot do it without the support of the local music community (that's you by the way!)

We need the following... NOW

    Funding Co-ordinatorChief Steward Site Manager General Crew StewardsPublicity & Promotion Staff General Members

Many of these positions have training available, and provide valuable experience for work within the Music Industry. It's also a fun way of actively working voluntarily within your local community.

The Collective will be meeting fortnightly from now through to the festival itself... if you feel you're the person to take on one of these roles, get in touch NOW!
