Behind the Music Business Podcast

The penultimate episode of series 2 is with the wonderful Hannah Cartwright from the band Snow Ghosts (amongst many other creative projects that we discuss). She invited me to come to her studio (castle) near Bath and have a chat about her life in music and being a composer, being in bands and writing music for media. I had met Hannah the first time when she was part of the team at production music house ‘Extreme Music’ who we talk about a bit in the episode as well. Really enjoyed this conversation and the massive cups of teas I was made. Would love to get her back on to talk more about the creative processes so watch this space for that.

This week's Episode is taking another look at the world of live music for a different point of view. This time from the venue owners perspective with Dom Frazer from Boileroom in Guildford. I was put in touch with Dom through a mutual friend in order to have this chat so this was the first time we had spoken and it was a wonderful conversation about all things related to venues. I personally love these episodes where I get to nerd out on things as a novice and Dom was a total fountain of information and I’d love to have another chance to speak with her about all the things we didn't get a chance to cover. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. https://twitter.com/domczopor http://www.theboileroom.net/ https://twitter.com/boileroom https://www.instagram.com/boileroom/ https://www.facebook.com/theboileroom/ https://www.independentvenueweek.com/ http://musicvenuetrust.com/ The podcast is hosted by #audioboom and you can listen to, subscribe, follow, like and review the podcast on all the main podcast platforms including #spotify #applepodcasts, #googlepodcasts, #acast and most other pod apps #musicbusiness #musicindustry #musicbusinesstips #musicindustrytips #boileroom #musicvenue #livemusic #guildford #musicvenuestrust #independentvenueweek #blackfutures #podcaster #podcasting #podcast #musicpodcast #musicbusinesspodcast #musicindustrypodcast #yellow

Episode 17 is with Luke Armitage. Someone I have known since University and who I have seen go from Intern at Universal Publishing a decade ago through to Vice President of Global Marketing of Astral Werks (Part of Capitol Records) based in LA. Luke is a very bright and driven person who was always going to do well and it was really great catching up via the internet so that I could talk to him about his career in the music business and how he has viewed it all along the way. I hope to get him back on to talk through some of the work he has done in more detail but for now please enjoy hearing about Lukes journey through Universal Music Group (with a brief stop at Metropolis Studios along the way). https://www.astralwerks.com/ https://twitter.com/Astralwerks https://www.instagram.com/astralwerksrecords/ https://twitter.com/lukearmitage https://www.instagram.com/lukearmitage/ The podcast is hosted by #audioboom and you can listen to, subscribe, follow, like and review the podcast on all the main podcast platforms including #spotify #applepodcasts, #googlepodcasts, #acast and most other pod apps #musicbusiness #musicindustry #musicbusinesstips #musicindustrytips #universalmusic #astralwerks #dancemusic #anenglishmaninLA #musicmarketing #recordlabels #metropolisstudios #podcaster #podcasting #podcast #musicpodcast #musicbusinesspodcast #musicindustrypodcast #yellow

This episode (10) of the pod is with Daisy Carberry. Marketing co-ordinator at BMG Rights Management. Daisy is another one of the wonderful ex students of mine who have kindly been up for coming on the show to chat about what they are up to since graduating from uni and Daisy is currently smashing it at BMG. We talk about her time at uni and how she realised it was the business side and not the songwriting side of music that she wanted to pursue. We talk about taking the plunge and moving to London without any roots there and we talk about what day to day life at BMG looks like.

This weeks episode takes a different look at the live music business. After speaking to promoters and booking agents here is a chat with a member of the touring crew. James Pepper is a uni friend who is now doing wonderful things over in the USA as a major part of Nathaniel Rateliff’s road crew. Pepper has been in this work for around 8 years now and has worked with other bands like The Temperance Movement and Frightened Rabbit and we have an awesome catch up chat about all this touring and life in the team with the band. It was a lot of fun (and frustrating at times due to technical issues) to record, I hope you enjoy listening.

EP 14. More live music chat with Rob McGee, Booking agent with Empire Agency. Rob is based in Bristol and is booking agent for bands such as Lazy Day, Tusks, Thumper & Tungz. Rob talks opening and honestly about starting up his own business and the struggles that came with it which was refreshing and great to listen to. He also talks about the deal he has done this year to become part of the larger ‘Empire Agency’. We met up in Bristol venue Hy Brasil (RIP) and it was a really interesting insight into the live music business. Empire Agency website (https://www.empireagency.com/) .

After an unexpected week off for health reasons I’m back with E13 of series 2 of my little podcast. This chat is with festival founder and concert promoter James Scarlett. This conversation was originally going to come out back in August on the back of a great live version of the chat about all things live music and putting on music festivals that we had at this years 2000 trees festival but for many reasons I was unable to put that episode out so have done this wonderful do over conversation. James is a great person to talk to about live music and has a very interesting perspective on working in the business as someone who got into it that little bit later than most. We also have almost the exact same taste in music which is always nice when you find yourself in a music chat. Hope you enjoy it. 2000 Trees Twitter (https://twitter.com/2000trees) Arc’Tan’Gent Twitter (https://twitter.com/ATGFestival) Email the podcast at [email protected]  (mailto:[email protected] ) Follow the show on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/behindthebusinesspod/) as well.

Episode 12 of series 2 is an extra special episode as I managed to pin Manners McDade MD Harriet Moss down for a chat about music publishing and becoming a Managing Director of a company at 27. As discussed in the chat I first met Harriet a number of years back when she first joined Manners McDade looking after the sync side of the business and she has been killing it ever since. This is a brilliant chat and Harriet has loads of amazing insights to give about songwriting and music publishing as well as being a woman in the industry. Enjoy!

Episode 11 is all about Music and branding with Kate Young. Founder and CEO of Soho Music Group. I had the pleasure of working with Kate on a number of projects when I was at peermusic and it was amazing to sit down and chat with her about the evolution of sync and music supervision and how the music business and brands are looking at working together in the current industry. If you’re interested in the world of music in advertising and brand partnerships then this is an episode for you to check out.  Soho Music Website (http://sohomusicgroup.com) Soho Music on Instagram  (https://www.instagram.com/_soho_music_/) Soho Music on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SohoMusicGroup) Email the podcast at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected])   Follow the show on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/behindthebusinesspod/) as well.

Episode 10 of the Podcast. Talking to Songwriter and performer Dot Allison about her career in music. This was a really interesting chat as Dot is another contributor to the pod who I had not met before we got to talk. It was over skype and I have to admit, I had technical issues my end but we managed it and it was an awesome chat about songwriting. Dot has some great insights about writing as an artist and also writing for and with other artists and about some of the things that all emerging and emerged songwriters should keep in mind when forging a path through the industry.
