Next week on The BACK LOUNGE we’re diving into sobriety in all its many shades, from sober curious to long-term recovery. Expect an open, honest space to ask anything you’ve ever wanted to ask, from trying out sobriety, 12-step, where to seek help, and how to support recovery. We’ll be joined by Joanne Croxford - Tour Assistant & Artist Tour Support, David Sherman – Addictions Professional, Ronnie Traynor – Tour Manager & Trainee Therapist, Hannah Eakins - CEO Production Futures, Matthew Kushner – Immigration Attorney, Nico Golfar - Tour Manager, Lynne Maltman – Marketing Specialist AND the illustrious Roadies in Recovery, who’ll be sharing real stories from life on (and off) the road. No judgement, no shame - just camaraderie, insight, and inspiration, wherever you are on your journey. To join us, email info@thebacklounge.org anytime from now ‘til up to 30 mins before the call starts. 🗓 Wednesday 21st Jan 6pm London / 7pm CET / 1pm EST / 10am PST. PS The Roadies in Recovery sober table (No. 126) at the TPi Awards is back for a 3rd year. We’re raising funds for a second sober table to keep challenging stigma in an industry that still faces high levels of addiction.

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 ????
