Dates for the diary 

 

 

Wednesday August 27th:  

After the astonishing success of the very first Lets Talk Music Live at The Bedford last month, we are excited to announce it will return on August the 27th and the topic will be Publishing. Lets Talk Music Live is a unique event that blends essential information, informed debate and great live music to create a show that we have dubbed 'edutainment'. 

Hosting and presenting this event will be Tony Moore and we are excited to announce that  joining him on the panel will be David Stark (publisher and founder of SongLink International), Willi Morrison (ex senior Creative Manager at Universal Music Publishing), Lucie Caswell (Blue Mountain Publishing) and Lucie Silvas (singer/songwriter). 

This very special show is open to all but on a first come first 'get in' basis. Judging by the success of out first show it is well worth coming early to be sure of getting in! Doors open at 6.30pm and the show starts at 7.00pm. We will have exclusive live music performances from Lucie Silvas and Miles Winter Roberts. 

We both welcome and encourage questions from the audience, so if there is anything that you wish to know about Publishing, the panel and Lets Talk Music will attempt to give you an answer. For those unable to make it in person we will be webcasting the show live as well as simulcasting the evenint into Second Life (www.dublinsl.com).

For more information go to www.myspace.com/letstalkmusiclive.

We are very proud to be supported by the PRS, Songlink International and The Institute for Contemporary Music.

We look forward to seeing you on the night for more great chat and sensational songs.

 

Lets Talk Music Live takes place at The Bedford, 77 Bedford Hill, Balham, SW12 9HD

Exciting News:

We are very excited to have Jamie Lawson playing a mini residency at the Regal Room. He has already performed at two of our nights and has another night on the 27th of August 2008 to mark the release of his EP. So far his performances have been compelling and he is blessed with an amazing ability to completely draw you into his own world and make you never want to leave, Jamie has been welcomed into our venues as a definite regular performer!

Help......we need somebody...not just anybody ! (To Misquote The Beatles)

The Bedford is one of the countries premier venues specialising in discovering, developing and promoting the very best new and emerging acoustic acts. In order to provide an environment with one of the best sound systems, stage experiences and audience atmospheres, requires a lot of physical input and people power. We are extremely labour intensive and "non corporate" and that means, as we grow and expand, we need more people to help us, who are like minded spirits and have a passion to make a difference.

So, we have some very exciting work experience positions open for anyone who truly has a desire to get involved and be a part of our team.

Previous experience is helpful but not needed as we will give full training in each of the two positions that we have open.

Ideal candidates will be energetic, creative and dedicated people who are either local to Balham or are able to get to us without too much trouble. This is especially important as we often finish our shows after 11.30 at night.

PRODUCTION ASSISTANT:

We are looking for someone with passion and drive, enthusiasm and a genuine love of live music to join our technical production team looking after the logistics of staging live shows.

This will mean setting up and breaking down PA systems, looking after artists and their backline requirements, operating PC equipment to webcast shows and generally learning about all aspects of live performance.

We are a multi roomed venue with different shows and events happening every week and this is a demanding and exciting job for the right applicant.

It would be an advantage to have some technical experience in PA systems/Sound and light etc. But just as important is a great work ethic, open and friendly personality and a willingness to learn and grow with us.

You do need to have a certain physical strength to be able to perform parts of this role when it comes to rigging and de-rigging the stage.

Even though this is a work experience "internship" we need people who are able to set aside a regular amount of time to really get to know this job and be relied upon.

This is a position that, over time for the right person, could develop into a more permenant position

HOST/SHOW PRESENTER:

One of the things that sets The Bedford and Regal Room apart from most other venues is the fact that we always have someone to host and present the shows. This, for us, is a very important and essential part of the evening. The host "glues" everything together, sets the tone for the evening, introduces the artists and generally keeps everything together from the stage. Almost all of you will probably have seen a Bedford show, so you know what to expect to some degree.

So, if you have the confidence and enthusiasm to stand up in a room full of people and take responsibility for the night, then we want to hear from you.

Ideally, you will be musical or have a great love and understanding of music. You will be able to ad lib for extended periods of time, you will have a inner sense of timing so you know to keep things moving along.

It is actually quite a challenging job,and although we have a pool or presenters already on call, as the business moves forward we will want to add to that number

Please note THESE ARE NON SALARIED Positions.

If you are interested to know more, please send an email with details of any experience to date, CV (if you have one) and a little bit of background about you along with contact details to:
