    Saffron: mix nights, workshops & growing confidence

    For this episode I sit down and chat to the people over at Saffron about their upcoming Mix Nights and Workshops in Nottingham!  Founded in Bristol in 2015 by Laura Lewis-Paul, Saffron operates as a social enterprise that primarily offers training in music production, sound engineering and DJing, as well as running an artist development program and record label. Saffron’s aim is to increase that figure, advancing gender equality in the sector by creating a safe space for women, non-binary people and other minority genders to learn and build confidence. We want to inhabit traditionally male-dominated music tech spaces and become visible role models.  You can check out Saffron on Instagram @saffronrecords or on their website here  Hope you enjoy the episode!
