Personalities

This week on The BACK LOUNGE our discussion is about surviving the ‘personalities’ in your workplace. Freelance work, in festivals and touring especially, can mean little accountability for bad behaviour. From micro aggressions to targeted bullying, and add to that how magnified it all can feel when you’re away from home and support networks. If you relate to this, you are so welcome to join our zoom call, speak or just listen, camera on or off. Knowing you are not alone in these situations really helps. Wednesday 17th July 6pm BST London / 7pm CET / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT. This call will not be recorded. DM for the link

Next week it’s ‘FEAST OR FAMINE’ on The BACK LOUNGE. Have you been lucky enough to have some work? How was it? Is it great to be back but it also feels more exhausting and more stressful somehow than before…have we lost our mojos and gone soft?! If you relate, then no – it’s not just you. Our esteemed guests this week are Jeordie Shenton & Adam Ficek at Tonic Rider www.tonicmusic/tonic-rider ?All welcome. DM to join ? Wed 18th August 6pm BST

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
