MARNI WANDNER

As January continues to January hard, our theme this Wednesday on The BACK LOUNGE is ’NEW YEARS’ RESOLUTIONS’. On this the week of National Quitters Day – statistically the day most people give up their ‘this year I’m going to….’; we’re looking at why they often don’t work & how can you cultivate habits that stick beyond the end of this week. Joining us is health & performance coach Marni Wandner who has a background of 20 years in the music industry & a passion for living healthier & brighter. Everyone welcome, especially those who are serious about stepping up their game. Wednesday 10th January 6pm GMT / 7pm CET/ 1pm EST / 10am PST

SECRET SANTA

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
