expanding roles

How are our jobs as TMs /PMs /crew chiefs starting to reflect our changing world? From the practical - force majeure, insurance & emergency protocols - to the harder to define more personal issues – from conflict resolution, drug taking to infidelity. How much do we need to know, to how much should we know and can we provide better support for those who need it? Guests Josh Barnes, Production Director & Sarah-Anne Grill Tour Director/Manager will lead the discussion. Wednesday 19th March 6pm London / 7pm CET / 2pm EDT / 11am PDT (Hour difference for US clocks change!) To join our zoom, email info@thebacklounge.org to register AT LEAST 30 MINS before the call starts for your zoom link. All welcome, whatever your role in live events and touring.

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
