Hugely proud to announce I am now officially one of the new trustees of Music Support.

You can find out more about what they do here https://www.musicsupport.org ❤️????????#recoveryispossible #musicmentalhealth #mentalhealthfirstaid #thebackloungetouring
This Wednesday it’s our last BACK LOUNGE before Christmas ????Love the season or loathe it, there’s not much avoiding it & if you’re not surrounded by family & friends it can be tough. We’re a community of music pros from all over, providing connection, a chuckle or a wee cry if that’s what you need. Whether you’ve not been before or we’ve not seen you for a while come say hi & raise a cup of tea, a sherry for Santa or a glass of eggnog (as a Brit I still don’t actually know what eggnog is) First hour is our catch up – all welcome ❤& then the second hour is Secret Santa for those who are partaking ????Wed 20th Dec 6pm London GMT/ 7pm CET/ 1pm EST / 10am PST
This Wednesday on The BACK LOUNGE I’m popping out but I’ve given Simon Schofield the keys. Original roadie, PM, crew boss, dog dad & all round loveliest guy you’d want on your team ❤ It’s a chat, it’s a check in, it’s a catch up. DM for the link Wed 13th Dec 6pm London GMT/ 7pm CET/ 1pm EST / 10am PST
Next Wednesday on The BACK LOUNGE it’s a catch up
As we edge towards Christmas & the end of 2022, how are you?
I mean really – HOW ARE YOU ?! For those who ask that question & really want to know the answer ie more than just ‘Oh I’m OK’ then join us. I’ve been away the past couple of weeks & am really happy to be back in the chair. Missed you all

Hi Loungers, no BACK LOUNGE session this week, taking a break! Back Wed 14th Dec as usual 🦄❤️🍕
Just a chat tomorrow Wednesday on The BACK LOUNGE ✌️
No agenda, everyone welcome. Simon Schofield holding fort! Expect an accompanying dog or 2 🐾🐾 Wed 30th Nov 6pm GMT London 😊
Wednesday on The BACK LOUNGE ✌️ How do you get taken seriously & move up the ladder? Are you finding it hard to negotiate a raise & more responsibility to reflect your growing experience? This one’s about GETTING TAKEN SERIOUSLY 👊
Our guests are Tom G & Makeila Estelle, both with growing CVs & oodles of experience working in live music & events. If you freelance on festivals, gigs, repping, prepping or anything else ‘live’, we’d love to hear how’s it been for you 🎸 DM for the link if we’re not connected yet. Wed 23rd Nov 6pm GMT. All welcome
This Wednesday it’s a chit chat on The BACK LOUNGE. What’s it like out there? Are you lucky to have consistent reliable work, or are things moving around again, or worse, is the phone quiet? All welcome, whether you’ve attended one of our meets before or not. We’re a peer support group for anyone working across live music & events, wherever you are in your career. We’re global, it’s kind of reassuring to hear we all go through similar things whatever the location. Wednesday 9th Nov 6pm GMT on Zoom
