Hello,
I’m Frankie Ward, a third year drama and theatre arts student at the University of Birmingham (no, my biggest ambition is not to win Best Actress Oscar… although I wouldn’t mind the best screenplay one!)
Since coming to Birmingham from Kent I’ve entered the Brummie blogosphere, and have got involved with Created in Birmingham, music festival Gigbeth, BBC Kent and more. I’ve also worked for Channel 4 sites such as E4.com and 4music.com I also still contribute to the 4talent blog. At the time of writing I’m doing some stuff with the New Media dept. at Maverick TV.
In 2009 I became Station Manager of Burnfm.com and if you want to know more, there’s loads of tagged posts so check them out. I’ve just retired to let someone else on the ‘rollercoaster of fun.’ Myself and my predecessor, the wonderful Hailey Smith spearheaded getting Burn back on air after a year without broadcasting and it’s finally getting there, as it will with future Managers and committees.
I’ve got a few months left of Uni and will be taking on a new radio show with DAB unsigned music station Amazing Radio which seems like it will be a fun experience – I’m looking forward to being managed for once.
Alongside the writing, radio-ing and general geekiness I write my own music and perform it with others under the monkier of Get Frank. As I write early drafts of songs I stick ‘em on Youtube, lest I forget the tune before I forget it properly. We gig around Birmingham with varying lineups and are hoping to gig more in 2010.
Any questions (yes, ‘do you want a job?’ is a brilliant one!) or clarifications email frankiepromotes@googlemail.com or follow me on twitter, www.twitter.com/getfrank
