Amy Juliet Brown

I am a freelance events producer specialising in live music and spoken word events of all sizes, with over twenty five years of experience.

I enjoy creating engaging, inspiring spaces for artists, organisations and audiences to connect - from intimate pop-up poetry workshops, to large-scale productions incorporating live-streaming and BSL interpretation.

I have hands-on experience in community and corporate spheres, and at all stages of the process: strategy, curation, booking, promotion, production, delivery, accounting, evaluation and everything in between.

As well as producing events myself, I use my expertise to support organisations and charities I believe in to create events they can be proud of.

My interest in producing live events emerged from sixteen years of DIY touring throughout the UK and Europe. I believe that my lived experience of being a touring musician, as well as an avid gig-goer, gives me an insight into the duality of what both audiences and artists need for an event to be a success.

Through Wire Wool Events (established 2017), I create and support women-centric speaking events. Speakers have included Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, Dr Helen Pankhurst, Emma Rees.

With Mirrorman (established 1999) I work in partnership to bring international artists to Hampshire. Venues include Joiners, Papillon, Heartbreakers, St Mary’s Church.

Since 2023 I have produced and managed Winchester Poetry Festival’s flagship literary festival (2023, 2025) alongside its year-round programme and day-to-day running.

I believe that live events are more important now than ever. In a climate where physical connection and shared experience are becoming increasingly abstract, they provide a much-needed communal space where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together and respond together to something extraordinary. Whether that’s a sweaty gig, or a philosophical lecture - it’s all important.
