What is Baby Blue Rock?
Celtic Blue Rock
early this year received funding to run FREE training
workshops in sound, lighting and stage management.
The sessions will be based within the counties of Carmarthenshire,
Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion, West Wales and will involve teaching young
people the basics in sound, lighting and stage management.
Once you have mastered the basics we will work with you to help stage your
own live music gig in a venue in your area.
But training will not stop there because we would like to continue
to give on the job practice by working with key professionals at their
events and festivals.
In August 2008 we will then have the opportunity to be involved with the running of the
5 main stages at the annual Celtic
Blue Rock Community Festival.
From 1 – 3 August 2008 all trainees will, with the Trainers, festival
Stage managers and Events
Officer support, have the opportunity to help with the running of
either one of the many Stages at the Celtic Blue Rock Community Festival
as well as being involved with other aspects of staging a large weekend
music event.

Throughout the project we will be uploading photos taken at each gig
and throughout the training and be posting them on the Gallery pages.

A MESSAGE FROM NIK TURNER

I
welcome the 'Baby Blue Rock' part of the festival, and cannot over-stress
the importance of the
technical support and back-up necessary for all areas of the performance
aspect of the event, embodied in the total production, ie., lighting,
sound, stage-management etc., to make the event work.
I feel that these
are just
as important for the spectacle, and groovy vibe, as the artists, themselves,
their performance, and how they look. |
