Climate change

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

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
