In this week episode we had a lovely chat with Jordan Ashton about the musical theatre industry, including the strain the pandemic put it under and our hopes for the future. We also had a really funny guessing game about classic musical theatre synopsis, where Alex made a massive faux pas...and had to redeem herself!

Because of some technical difficulties, Soraya wasn't able to hear us for most of the episode.

This topic prompted a very funny conversations about our current and past fan experiences - spoiler alert - you get to know some of our gloriously embarrassing stories about being superfans, including concerts we've been to, tours we've followed, and how terrible we are at guessing fandom's names.

This episode we discuss the role of the music manager, including the tasks, the responsibilities, and when and why it's interesting to bring a manager on a project. Additionally, we chat about the return and future of festivals in the UK, in 2021, with festival veteran and freelance promoter, Katherine Jackman. Katherine is a member of the original team behind Bestival (2003-2017), which pioneered the concept of "boutique festival" in the UK and won the 2015 'Best Major Festival' category at the UK Festival Awards. Now, Katherine is a key player in the organisation of the multi-award winning Camp Bestival, which put her in the position of being able to give us unique insider information about the current situation of the UK festival industry, and what we could expect from the 2021 festival season. So stay tuned for what she has to say for the up coming festivals of 2021 and 2022.

We apologise for the sound quality, we had technical problems with the set up.
