Part Time Booker

The venue Musik Loppen is searching for a part time booker with flair for economy and a desire to work with narrow genres, up and coming genres and new tendencies.

Do you want to take part in creating the framework surrounding a dynamic music venue in Christiania, Copenhagen, which is mainly run by volunteers? 

 

Loppen is, from the 1st of august, looking for an employee, who in close cooperation with the daily administration and collective group, will contribute to securing the music operation and development of one of the oldest venues in the Northern parts of Europe, in the midst of one of the most broadly represented areas of Denmark. Loppens core values are built on communities, love for the music and creating memorable audience experiences. All of this is based on volunteering as the biggest driving force. 

 

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a colleague and collectivist, who loves live music in informal settings - and has an understanding that mediating music experiences  requires an intelligent operation and healthy economy. You will be working closely with our program manager, Jasper “Japser” Jensen, as well as the volunteer bookinggroup, to shape Loppens musical profile, especially in the narrow genres as well as with the up and coming artists. 

 

You primary function, tasks and responsibility is based in these main areas: 

 

  • Booking (collaborations, production, development of new formats, sparring with volunteers)
  • Project development (collaborations, rental, special events, concerts and coordination with external associations)
  • Economy (budgets, daily economy 

 

We wish that you: 

 

  • Have a visionary approach to the music, but also possess an understanding of Loppens history and nostalgic trademark. 
  • Have experience with booking and/or curating within one or more of Loppens profilled genres
  • Has team spirit and distinctly responsible towards Loppens community
  • Have a substantial and established network, both nationally and internationally

 

We expect that you have practical experience within the music- or culture industry, but also that you have experience with volunteering from eg. another venue, festival or cultural institution.  

You are social, and good at creating and maintaining social relations, as well as you have insights and experience in working with volunteering. Experience with budgeting is a condition, and it is seen as an advantage if you can work in a, at times, hectic venue.
