Koko (Camden)
In four short years following the historic venue's phoenix-like rebirth, KOKO has become an
essential stopping off point for a host of artists and club nights that have all benefited from some of the ingrained magic contained within the fabric of the building. Often described as a very clubby live music venue, the building just lends itself to great nights out whether they be Prince playing a cheeky late night warm up show or the latest and greatest acts that grace the stage every Friday night. It's what you get when you cross an Edwardian theatre full of hard working staff with a high end spec production, one hell of a well organized party.
Although there are two positions with Koko, both positions will be in different departments of the business. One position would be with Koko venue management which will allow one lucky person to get real hands on experience on how a venue that is opened most nights of the week operates. The other candidate will be positioned within the music office where you will gain a perspective on more of a promotional level.
