Capturing You Festival 2024: Two Days of Creative magic!
Back in late January Liverpool played host to You Festival, a groundbreaking event tailored for the next generation of creative arts students. With two days filled to the brim with workshops, panels, Q&A sessions, mentoring, keynotes, and live entertainment. The Festival is aimed to connect students, SMEs, future hires, and partners, providing them with unparalleled opportunities to learn and network. The festival is produced by LMA, one of the fastest-growing creative arts universities in the UK, co-owned by international icon Robbie Williams. Although Robbie couldn't make it to the festival, the star power was not lacking, thanks to big names like John Bishop and band members from renowned acts such as Bastille, Don Broco, the Courteeners, Travis, and Bloodhound Gang.
