Female SA

It’s Suicide Awareness, this Wednesday on The BACK LOUNGE, this time with a more female orientated angle and the factors behind it’s worrying increase. All genders welcome, and however this issue affects you, if it’s your own story, someone close to you, or someone you’re worried about whom you work alongside. First half of the call will be recorded and practical, recognising possible warning signs, what you can do, and importantly, the impact of its aftermath. The second half, we stop recording and it’s a safe space to share and find support. Our guests are Eoghan O Hagan and Georgina Levers from Music Support, Beverly Evans therapist & coach at Music in Mind and Mig Burgess, LD, mental health advocate and trustee of Back Up Tech. Wednesday 24th July 6pm BST London / 7pm CET / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT. DM for the zoom link and to show your support.

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
