What does Matilda expect from the event organisers?
Ideally to talk through with the gig collective what you want to do with the space before hand. It is a collective responsibility – Matilda and you guys. Particularly ensuring there is going to be enough volunteers on both sides. Anyhow all this prep makes for a smooth and safe running of the event for all, and usually double the fun! Not everyone wants or has time to be heavily involved with the running of the social centre, or be part of one of the collectives within it, e.g. the gig space collective. But what would be really cool if people using the space were up for feeling that they were part of the Matilda community, rather than just seeing the space as somewhere they rent and don’t really care about. It would be fab, if through our love of music and making shit happen that we could end up being a cool network of Sheffield DIY promoters and artists in and around the Matilda space, with loads of cross fertilisation of ideas and effort and build up further the rad DIY music communi
