Climate Change

This week on The BACK LOUNGE, it’s a check in, whatever you do across live music and events, you’re welcome here and wherever you are at in your career. We’re here to share knowledge, cheer you on, and commiserate when you need it. Our chats tend to cross both, such is the way on the road. I’m away at the fabulous GTL Sessions, so Rowan McDonagh will be chairing this one. To join our discussion, email info@thebacklounge.org to register AT LEAST 30 MINS before the call starts for your zoom link. Wednesday 7th May 6pm London / 7pm CET / 1pm EDT / 10am PDT

Next week on The Back Lounge we are focusing on climate change with special guest Jamal Chalabi, sustainable touring advocate and Tour Manager for Massive Attack https://www.agreenerfuture.com/jamal-chalabi Given the recent catastrophic LA fires, it feels more important than ever to highlight what an industry with high mileage and footprint can do to become greener. Jamal will be talking about Massive Attack’s sustainable strategy – what worked, what didn’t and what the future of touring might look like. To join next Wed’s zoom, please email info@thebacklounge.org to register AT LEAST 30 MINS before the call starts for the link. Wednesday 5th February 6pm London / 7pm CET / 1pm EDT / 10am

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 ????
