Events

I am more and more in demand these days as an Event Manager. I can design your event from scratch, work with a pre-existing idea or just help to guide you through all the steps necessary for an artistically exciting, professional, safe event.

I’m currently working on the Sing! Right Up Your Street festival for Voluntary Arts England, Sing Up National Gathering 2010 and a number of smaller projects in the Autumn.

Events I have run in the past include:

The Handsworth Park Family Day 2009 – a special day for the local constituency office celebrating the talent and diversity of the area.

Shireland Collegiate Academy’s Celebration Event at Symphony Hall 2009 – working with the Academy and six of it’s feeder schools to run a professionally staged event.

Sing Up in the House 2009 - running the national singing campaign – Sing Up’s large scale celebration event at the Royal Opera House in London. Coordinating performances by 600 children to a capacity crowd of 2000 people and a VIP reception for MPs and government officials.

The Flyover Show 2008 and 2009 - working with MOBO award winning Jazz musician Soweto Kinch on making his dream of hosting an event under Hockley Flyover in Birmingham a reality!

Gigbeth Festival and Conference 2006, 2007 and 2008 – as founder and Director of Gigbeth I have overseen this event from an idea into an annual part of the Birmingham calendar.

Journey to Justice 2008 – I was approached by the Jubilee Debt campaign to run the music element of this event in Centenary Square which I did voluntarily.

International Early Music Showcase 1997 – Co-ordinating delegates from across the world to come to Birmingham to see the very best UK early music ensembles.

“Clare delivered a fantastic event for us, bringing 600 children and teachers from over the country to perform at a Sing Up celebration event at the Royal Opera House. Clare was dedicated, had great attention to detail, was very friendly and efficient, completely unflappable and had a fantastic team of people that she brought along on the day. All of the feedback we had from the day took time to mention how well organised the day was and how fantastic Clare and her team were. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clare for future work and I hope we can find an opportunity to work with her again soon.” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Creative    Jo Hunter, Sing Up, April 1, 2009
