Claire Hamilton (Regional Rep for West + South Yorkshire - Independent Venue Week)
Claire has a background in radio, music journalism, communications and events.
Alongside being a Regional Rep for Independent Venue Week, she is an Artist Management Assistant at Launchpad as well as a founding member of youth-led not for profit Bloom Sessions - a project that aims to encourage and celebrate underrepresented creatives across Yorkshire.
Independent Venue Week (IVW) is the UK’s annual 7-day celebration of independent music & arts venues and the people that own, run and work in them.
During the week, independent venues come together with artists, promoters, agents, record labels and media to create a unique series of special live events across the U.K. to highlight on the work these venues do year-round. By doing so, local communities come together and celebrate these special places with thousands of artists playing hundreds of shows in villages, towns and cities all around the UK.
