Events

List of events that Alex has organised or been part of the organizing body.

Night of the Bands
The event took place in February of 2004 at Strode Theatre in street. Alex was the main organiser for the event. The event was to find a new and upcoming band to perform at Glastonbury Festival. The festivals organiser Michael Eavis sat on the panel of judges.

Somerset Variety Performance 2004
This was Alex’s first variety show. It took place in July of 2004 and had a selection of performers from across Somerset including the Glastonbury School of Dance and the Somerset Jazz Group. The event was hosted in Glastonbury to an audience of 200.

Somerset Variety Performance 2005
Due to the variety shows success in 2004 the project was upsized and new performers were introduced. They included the South West School of Dance & the Glastonbury & Street Drum and Trumpet Core. This project led to the launch of the national variety.

National Variety Performance
Alex was the MD for this organisation for just short of 2 years. During his time as Managing Director, several large stage productions were produced, singers were coached and helped with their career and countless auditions took place. the bulk of work happened in Weymouth, Dorset.

Somerset County Awards 2006
The Somerset County Awards (SCA) was an event showing appreciation for local peoples efforts towards charities and other good causes. This event was one of the events which was part of the NVP which became its own branch due to its success.

Somerset County Awards (Winter Edition)
Even though this project had no ceremony the awards were still presented. It worked in the same format as the SCA did earlier in the year. We handed out numerous awards to groups including Wells City Band. This project was introduced because we couldn’t fit in all the awards in one ceremony.

Weymouth Factor
As the title says the event took place in Weymouth. People from across the area were invited to perform in front of a panel of judges to win the chance to sign a 2000$ performer contract with AMEM Limited. Some of the winners headed north for a photo-shoot then back to Weymouth for their debut performance.
