How to be an Ally

Next Thursday 3rd March The BACK LOUNGE is cohosting workshop #3 with TPG - Tour Production Group - HOW TO BE AN ALLY with Joanne Croxford, Keely Myers (she/her) and guests. If we truly want more diversity backstage, how do we create an environment that feels inclusive and welcoming? With a shortage of crew a reality, now's our time to broaden our horizons. This session is FREE and for anyone who works in music (not just live music) and events. You can sign up here ? Thurs 3rd Mar 6-7.30pm London GMT ✊ https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/232200175977

How can we make it stick and is there a dark side to all this we need to be mindful of? We’re joined this week by special guests Malle Kaas and Erin Lynch from WILM (Women in Live Music) – they’ll be sharing their experience of life on the road. Join us, this is an important one. Wednesday 7th July 6pm BST

PDS

Next week on The BACK LOUNGE, our subject is ‘PDs’, that mysterious bonus payment with the amount varying widely across jobs, and whatever you get, no one wants to pay tax on. How much do you get? What is everyone else getting more? Why are they subject to their own nonsensical quirks, normally dictated by someone who has never toured and never in anyone’s favour? Ideas for how to make £20/20$ stretch across 3 meals and a day off in Oslo/ Tokyo/ NYC welcomed. Email info@thebacklounge.org to register for the zoom chat. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting ????
