Katie Thompson’s Summary
I'm a qualified journalist with 20 years of professional writing experience, mostly on local newspapers. I've just spent 7 years running my own media company.
In the last two years I helped to create Motion Plymouth - a new media festival for my home city of Plymouth.
I'm now concentrating my efforts on promoting and appearing at The B-bar - a theatre bar, performance and arts space in Plymouth's historic Barbican area.
My latest project is the creation and promotion of the Barbican International Jazz and Blues Festival, which is connecting venues throughout the Barbican and hosting international, national and local acts.
