A REVITALISED music venue is holding a volunteer recruitment day to give people the chance to learn the ropes of working in the industry.

The Studio in Hartlepool, which is managed entirely by volunteers, is hosting the open event this Saturday, (May 7) between 11am and 2pm for anyone interested in helping out.

Volunteers are needed for a variety of roles including bar work, box office, cleaning and working as a roadie, as well as opportunities with the technical, engineering, marketing and promotion side of the venue.

Spokesman Jonathan Ward said: “It’s fantastic that we are packing out The Studio again and anyone who was there on Saturday for The Blockheads will agree what an amazing night it was.

“We’re getting by with an incredibly committed team of volunteers, all of whom are putting in the hours behind the bar, stock taking, cleaning up, running the ticket office or booking bands.

“But we could really do with some more help – so if you love live music and fancy helping out, we’d love to hear from you.”
