Music Scheme at Solent

If you are studying any course within the music scheme at Solent, the name Dave Poulton will, should, needs to be imprinted within your memory.

Known as technician instructor for media and visual arts Dave Poulton is involved in several areas of the music scheme, namely the links Solent has with the festival scene. Ask almost anyone and the first thing that springs to mind upon mentioning his name is Glastonbury.

Students from Solent have been arriving in the usually mud drenched fields of Somerset for over 7 years, from 2000 to present and there seems to be no signs of things changing.

Throughout the time spent working at Glastonbury, students within the music scheme have been offered numerous outstanding opportunities and real ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences. Organised mainly by Dave Poulton, with the involvement of a variety of other lecturers, those lucky enough to be involved boast achievements such as: filming short documentaries, filming bands and artists performances and even interviewing the musicians – such as Fat Boy Slim and Klaxons in 2007.

For those passionate about music and willing to work hard and work together Solent’s music scheme has more than enough to offer it would seem life changing opportunities are their speciality.
