NYE

We’re having a special BACK LOUNGE check in this New Years Eve. This is a weird time of year for many of us, for all sorts of reasons, whether its loved ones lost or missed, looking back at situations to celebrate, or that left you feeling …well…glad to see the back of, let’s mark its passing and say hello to a bright shiny 2025 and all its possibilities. We are a community of friends who meet online (and in person at shows and festivals when the opportunity arises) who you may know or have yet to get to know. If you have a connection with live music touring and events, wherever you are in your career, come by. To join the zoom please email info@thebacklounge.org AT LEAST 30 MINS before the call starts. Tuesday 31st Dec 6-8pm London / 7pm CET / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT

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
