Contacting Contributors
These emails show the way we went about approaching potential contributors to feature in our documentary:
Email to Matt Corrigan- Lincoln BIG
Dear Mr Corrigan,
We are a group of second year students studying Radio Production at Lincoln University.
We’re producing a short factual radio feature exploring the culture of Lincoln and how it intended to be portrayed. We’ll be looking at various businesses in the city centre and the regeneration of Brayford Waterfront.
As Chief Executive of a Lincoln Business Group, we see you as a key contributor and would be grateful if you would do a short interview with us, walking around the city centre.
Would you be willing to participate in this?
Please contact Producer, Ed Neely on 07873279275 or via email.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Kind Regards,
Ed Neely and Team
Email to Ian Spenton- Engine Shed Events Manager
Dear Ian,
We’re writing in regards to the conversation we had about a short interview with yourself at Engine Shed.
Our radio feature is exploring the culture of Lincoln and various businesses around the city, part of this is looking at the nightlife and particularly Engine Shed, and how it offers such a wide range of events to suit an audience outside the student demographic.
Questions will include:
– Describe Engine Shed and what it offers
– How do you decide which artists/bands/comedians to book for Engine Shed and what is coming up?
– How do you go about promoting events?
– Have you noticed a change in the demographic of the main audiences that attend events?
– As Engine Shed and Tower Bar are a student venue, how do you steer away from only catering for this demographic?
– Do you think the music scene is a big part of Lincoln culture, or do you think it’s trying to be, with the rise of new gig venues and an increase in live music?
When would you be free to be interviewed?
Kind Regards,
Ed Neely and Team
