A Day In The Life: Creative Edition
Did you miss me? I know I’ve certainly missed writing my ramblings down to our online audience. The blogs are back, normal service has resumed and order has been restored. And what better way to welcome you back than with the latest installment of our ‘A Day In The Life’ series with Vicky, our ever […]

Playlist or Performance: Which Is Better?
A lot of my non-performer friends find it baffling how much money people are prepared to spend on live music at their events. I like to politely remind them that I (and many others in the industry) have endless gratitude to everyone who invests into live entertainment – it keeps us in work, doing something […]
Sustainable Music Events
In light of last week’s ‘World Earth Day’, it sparked me off on a trail of looking into sustainability within the entertainment industry. If you’ve watched Sir David Attenborough’s latest documentary, ‘A Life On Our Planet’ (if you haven’t, you should), then you’ll know all too well that we must make a change, as humans, […]

I wanted to dig deep this week on the history of music, which has helped shape our beloved industry today and it just so happens to coincide with World Radio […]
Throwing It Back To The 90s
Get ready to be transported back to the 90’s – the decade may be gone, but it’s anything but forgotten. I’m talking Tamagotchis, The Fresh Prince and the unforgettable dial up internet – yes, I know that beeping sound is going round your head now. Here are some nostalgic notions to unlock the memory bank […]
