    THE PART YOU PLAY TO ENSURE THE RETURN OF LIVE SHOWS DURING THE PANDEMIC IS CRITICAL...

    Vigilance and vaccinations are the key components for how we can ensure shows and festivals make a complete comeback from the pandemic. It’s really vital that we continue to be on the ball in the way that we handle COVID-19 as restrictions are (potentially) eased later this month in the U.K. We are still waiting for the guidance from the Government for 21st June to be released, remember, it isn’t a given that life will return to ‘normal’ and there will most likely still be co

    BEATING HEARTS AGENCY: COVID CHALLENGES AND RESPONSE

    We suddenly realised that the situation around the Coronavirus was beginning to get serious when at the end of February Italy started quarantining towns hit by the outbreak and their events/public gatherings began to cancel, which left us facing a lot of uncertainties surrounding what impact the pandemic will have in the UK/live music industry and how we could deal with the challenges that lay ahead of us. All our lives have been negatively impacted in one way or another due

    2020, YOU CRAZY BEAST!

    Wow, it has been a while since we last updated our blog, apologies about that! Before the current global pandemic, we were extremely busy getting involved with a lot of different projects and it has not eased up since lockdown began either, which has been fabulous yet utterly exhausting at times. The end of 2019 was full-on in the office with booking shows and festivals for the first part of this year, Terri-Sian was asked to work at Lumiere Festival in Durham and she finally

    INTERVIEW WITH A PRO

    Every month I will be interviewing a different live music business professional to talk about their career so far. This month I bring you Mark Dawson, a Production Manager whose CV includes Rolling Stones, Kate Perry, 50 Cent, Alice Cooper and Jay Z... HOW DID YOU BREAK INTO THE INDUSTRY? I started as a kid in Kidderminster managing my mate’s band from school. Their gigs were successful so we started inviting bands we liked to come and support in exchange for the train fare.

    What do I look for when taking on a new artist?

    I regularly receive emails from new artists looking for representation and can understand it's a bit of a minefield with knowing exactly what information to send over. Here is a list of what I look for when considering a new artist... Online presence and a good following. Include links to all the social media platforms that you use. Someone who has already been gigging around the UK and is building their audience. Tell me the venues/ festivals you've been playing, how was
