My working day in The Sage Gateshead

By Tom Besford on Dec 4, 09 03:40 PM

Working in the Performance Programme department at The Sage Gateshead is a surefire way to lead a varied life!

Today I've been wrestling with the logistics of putting on our Seasonal Music on the Concourse programme, 17 amateur choirs and bands over 22 days performing seasonal music to a busy Concourse before our packed out Hall One gigs in December.

Coupled with this, I'm also working on other upcoming concerts we have here at The Sage Gateshead, such as PBS6 on Saturday night and Steeleye Span on the 16th Dec. Not to mention the 5th Birthday weekend coming up on 17th-20th December where I have been tasked with the unenviable role of making sure all of the artists get fed!

Still, I love it when all the hard work pays off at the end of a good show and I'm ready to move on to the next challenge!

Tom
