Become a Cecil Sharp House Social Sharer
We are looking for three enthusiastic digitally competent social media lovers – Social Sharers – to tweet and blog about their gig-going experiences at Cecil Sharp House throughout the season. We’re launching a competition for imaginative and creative social media enthusiasts to win tickets to a selection of gigs promoted by EFDSS, presented in association with Songlines magazine.
What would being a Cecil Sharp House Social Sharer consist of?
You’ll get:
– tickets to EFDSS promoted gigs* for two people (we ask that you come to at least four of the available gigs, but are happy for you to come to all!)
– the chance to interview and engage with some of the performing artists and EFDSS staff
– tea or Illy Coffee served with a slice of homemade cake from our new, in-house catering partner Pink at every event as well an evening meal from the new menu served in the refurbished cafe.
– four issues of Songlines magazine
