Team

• 

  Sarah McWatt

  Director

  I’m the Director of AMP, and develop our strategy, vision and mission. I’ve been on the team since 2018, and I’m really proud of our journey with youth led work in this time. A gig I’ll never forget was Ivor Cutler’s last ever show. He didn’t like loud or sudden sounds, so asked us all to applaud at 50% of our usual volume and not to eat ‘noisy sweeties’.

  Teah Lewis

  Programme Manager

  I work with partners and young people to design and deliver our projects, including AMP: PODs and AMP Producers which are our youth led programmes solely focused on 11-25 year olds. Favourite music moments are always when I’m recording my songs in the studio – at one stage it felt really out of my reach and I feel grateful every time I get to do it.

  Abby Seton

  Networks Manager and Administrator

  I lead the development and co-ordination of AMP Networks (Partners Network, Early Years Music Network, SEND Music Network and the Remote Music Network) and I’m also the Administrator for AMP. My most memorable music experience is getting the chance to watch a recording at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

  Callie O’ Brien

  Marketing Intern

  I’m AMP’s marketing intern, focussed on creating engaging social media content to raise awareness of all the amazing things AMP does, and have previous experience participating in the AMP Producers programme and some young professional development grants they’ve helped organise. My favourite musical moment was getting to perform a set at the Switched On electronic music festival last year, meeting so many incredible people, and getting so many brilliant opportunities off the back of it!
