Election post
As a member of Jazz Society, I love seeing jazz performed live. In the society, there is an absurd amount of very talented musicians, all of which deserve a chance not only to play to UCL audiences, but also to audiences of the general public.
In my previous years at UCL, I have helped organize external, as well as internal events for a number of music-related societies, namely Rare FM and EMS. This year, I am part of a team which looks for artists to play at the events of ERA Journal, and the venues in which these will take place. So, I have some experience in finding venues that are looking to book bands from universities, and I will be able to to use this to help me find external opportunities for the musicians of the society.
If I am elected, I want to significantly expand the scope of the venues that Jazz Society musicians play in. I believe that jazz is in high demand in London, and if done right, the musicians in the society can have a lot of opportunities to play in a variety of venues, including those which are not usually known for Jazz.
