Sink The BBC
Its a happy predicament to choose between two dream jobs. So for now I'm going to mince about in lycra for a few more years/as long as I can get away with it, until I come knocking at the doors of BH one day to bring a bit of camp colourfulness back into the building! I must have the faith to flock the nest that helped form me, because I have built my own from the strength it gave me, and its much more colourful and i'm the head bird! Ahh exciting!!!! Thank you BBC, I will love you forever xxx

Hackney Weekend
-Create community spirit
-Celebrate young Hackney in a positive light to the rest of UK
It has been a 'full circle' experience for me as I met young people working at Break FM, a radio station in Stratford that I worked at over 8 years ago!

Radio 4 Listening Project + UK drag doc
To celebrate Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend, Radio 4 broadcast conversations collected in Hackney.
I produced a few, including this one with Ashley and Raj, two young men discussing their friendship since childhood and how it will play out into middle age and beyond:

Five Essentials: Creative Director - Ideas Tap
Five Essentials: Creative Director
Amy Redmond is the Creative Director of London nightlife collective Sink The Pink, which has organised events at Glastonbury, Bestival, Lovebox and the ICA. She tells IdeasMag why she can't work without Facebook, fancy dress and a sense of humour...
Full name/age/job title:
Amy Redmond, 30, Creative Director, Sink The Pink.
What does your job involve?
Promoting and hosting regular club nights, events, performances and DJ sets at venues across the country and international music festivals.
Press, PR, promotion, marketing, DJ mixes, booking acts, booking venues, building strong relationships with acts, pluggers, festivals and venues – everything it takes to run a successful club night!
Five things you couldn't work without:
1. Facebook
It is the key to talking directly to our Sink The Pink family. Facebook events are our main promotion tool for the club.
2. Fancy dress
Each night is themed, so we prepare loads of fancy dress, make up and homemade outfits and props for each party. People know to expect outfit changes and mayhem when they arrive at the club.
3. My iPhone
We tweet and Facebook pictures during the night, and upload and add pictures of people. I am always on the go and couldn’t live without checking my emails and Facebook constantly all day. The kind of work I do means being contactable all the time!
4. A sense of humour
At the end of the day, we are just running a club – it’s not life or death. It is the calm, fun, relaxed vibe that keeps people wanting to come down and be a part of the fun. No one wants to work with a boring person, and definitely no one wants to go out partying with one! Being fun and having fun makes my job more successful and fun; it’s a win-win.
5. Glitter
We believe that glitter makes everything better. I always have pots of glitter on me, for making people up, or adding glitter to sets, costumes or props. Also the eBay app because I am constantly buying glitter on eBay!
