Welcome to Jacob Head’s website! This is a fairly miscellaneous collection of information about concerts, websites, photography and other projects, which have all needed to be put online at some point.

Music

I wrote this ancient article for a school magazine about some of the concerts given whilst I was in the sixth–form.

The programme, adverts and a review of a recital of unaccompanied double–music given at Selwyn College (on the 28^th January 2007) and Kettle’s Yard (on the 16^th February 2007) are all now available.

Sir Leonard Wolley

I won Oxford University’s 2004 G.E. Wainwright Prize for Near Eastern Archæology for this essay (PDF) looking at the motives of the British archæologist Sir Leonard Woolley.

Websites

Over the last few years, I have worked on a number of website projects, including my personal site devoted to flageolets, one for Selwyn College JCR and CUMS TIMPANI system. If you are interested you can find out more about these projects.

CUMS Logos

Various versions of the CUMS Logo are also available, produced from version of the logo on one of CUMS’ bass-drums.

Student Politics

Between 2005 and 2007, I was Education Officer for the Cambridge University Students Union. My handover documentation is still available online.

The National Student Survey

In 2007, I was involved in a successful campaign to encourage students to opt-out of the National Student Survey. As the Cambridge University Student Union’s policy has since changed somewhat, I have preserved a copy of the information page which I authored.

Cambridge University Governance

Two senate–house speeches I gave as part of University Discussions are available.

Technical

You can also read how I used to play files from Naxos Music Library on Linux (possibly out of date).

The various scripts, codes and other projects have now been moved to a separate page.
