ISOLATION GEMS - 04 APRIL 

12 people (around 6 that stayed for most)

This week I followed the same promotions as last week with the instagram stories. I also sent out some invites and a message to people who had come last week, inviting them back to this week. If I did more weeks I would continue to send out invites and tell them to also invite their friends as well to try and get more exposure. 

​

This week I changed the format completely. I took only a few suggestions which I think took away the personal aspect that I had last week. I still had the background with the song name for when the music was playing. Only this time I was on the live introducing the club and the songs, like a radio show host. During the context of the lockdown this was really effective as many people said it was so nice to see a familiar face. I think it was a good way to break up the songs and make the club more human again, as if we were all sitting there.

 

Next time I would have rehearsed a bit more so I didn’t have the same opening of ‘Now this next song’ etc and also have a cool fact about the music so it’s a bit interesting. The atmosphere at the beginning, like always, was more zingy and then tapered off towards the end however, many people said they liked just putting it on in the background while they did other things.

 

What I have had to adapt to when going online is that the club is not so much now about bringing people together but providing entertainment and getting them to do something new and despite not bringing people together it still nurtures the main aim of getting people to really listen to music.
