Kelburn Garden Party

Kelburn Garden Party is Scotland’s premier boutique music festival, which hosts a vibrant programme of music, art and immersive outdoor experiences on the west coast.

My main task is to look after the festival’s social media, where I post regular content to build a devoted organic community – and ultimately shift over 4,000 tickets.

The festival regularly sells out and attracts a loyal fanbase of returning attendees. Many have literally grown up coming to the festival.

The content strategy also prioritises:

• The pop-up art exhibition in Kelburn Estate’s forested grounds, The Neverending Glen
• A thought-provoking music programme that spotlights today’s most interesting artists in the UK and internationally
• The festival’s role as a hub and incubator for Scotland’s alternative and underground music scenes

Artist bios and content writing

I assist in looking after the festival’s website, which involves collating information from the music programme’s artists and crafting bios for each act.

Outside the festival, I have worked with the Music Officer on the Kelburn Mixtape, a mix series that platforms previous artists, where I write accompanying Q&As.

Some highlights have included:

• The Ragga Twins on working with Shut Up And Dance (and why they support Scottish football)
• Egebamyasi on being one of the first to create acid house on the 303 in Scotland
• DJ Anikonik on working with RAM Records, DJ Sweetpea and EQ50
