Sound Women announces regional events
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 8 January 2015
Sound Women, the previously reported collective for women working (or wishing to work) in the radio and audio biz, has announced details of three events around the UK kicking off later this month, each featuring two broadcasters offering all kinds of career type tips.
The line-ups are as follows…
24 Jan: Brighton with Clare McDonnell (BBC Radio 5 live) and Angie Greaves (Magic 105.4).
31 Jan: Birmingham with Amy Voce (Gem 106) and Noreen Khan (BBC Asian Network).
7 Feb: Newcastle with Lisa Shaw (formerly Heart North East) and Charlie Charlton (BBC Radio Newcastle).
Explaining why it’s important for the group to stage events beyond London town, Sound Women’s Regions Leader Lucy Duffield is quoted by Radio Today saying: “It’s really important to Sound Women that it’s not London centric. As an ardent northerner, I feel passionately about making sure there are events in the regions that are exciting for those wanting to work in the industry”.
“Many people don’t have access to anything like this and we hope that our combination of speakers, workshops plus locations will attract a wide range of people. We’ve aimed to reach areas that are accessible from all corners of the UK, whether it’s Cumbria or Scotland for our Newcastle event or Buckinghamshire for our Birmingham event”.
