Southern Records and Rarely Unable PR are looking for interns. Bright, passionate, committed, computer literate individuals with a good appreciation of Southern Records are encouraged to apply. We enjoy a good sense of humour too!
Southern Records is a fiercely independent record label, artist management and recording studio established in the late 1970′s punk heyday.

Duties will include:
- Undertaking creative writing tasks
- Internet research
- Maintaining databases
- Preparing mail shots
- Filing, photocopying, scanning
- Budgeting and marketing
- Distribution liaison
- Making tea and coffee, emptying the bins – everything we do on a day to day basis.
Things you won’t be doing:
- High fives
- Blagging onto the Godspeed guest list
- Updating your Facebook/Bebo/Myspace/Whatever page
- Running to the dry cleaners
- Spinning Kings Of Leon while you stuff envelopes
By the end of the placement, our interns will have a good grasp of the inner workings of an independent record label and an independent PR company.
We are looking for people who can fill a minimum placements of six weeks, ideally able to devote from 25-40 hours per week to us. Our placements are unpaid although we do offer a contribution towards travel costs.
