Christopher Watson

Hello everyone! My name is Chris and for the past year I’ve been Events Officer for Live Music Society, I also have experience as a band director having been an MD for Rhapsody 2024. Having really enjoyed being part of House Band and Function Band this year, I would love to have the opportunity to take on a more active role in it, and have a few ideas on how it could be further improved. First of all, I believe a nice improvement would be to have regular weekly rehearsal, on a fixed day/time which band members agree upon before joining function band, in order to ensure that we would be fully prepared to perform whenever we are called up for a gig. I also believe it would be beneficial to have function band auditions in the summer before term starts so rehearsals can begin as soon as possible. I would also like to work more closely with the events officers and have house band perform as the opening act at every gig. Having previously been an events officer, I know this would be beneficial as it would help build an audience at the start of gigs before later bands.
I hope to be a part of Live Music Committee again this year, and continue to contribute to the society as House Band director! Hope you’ll vote for me :)
