    Episode 39: 'Boybands', with Lee Murray of Let Loose

    Let Loose have reformed and are out on the road again this year after a busy 2024 – details of tour dates at htttps://www.letlooseofficial.com/ In this episode, drummer Lee Murray reflects on his experiences with fame in Let Loose during the 90s and how he coped once the phone stopped ringing. We explore the boyband culture of the 90s and what became of many of his contemporaries, off the back of a recent BBC documentary exploring Boybands. As well as reforming Let Loose, Lee has recently set up Drum Hub, offering drumming lessons to neurodivergent students in response to recognising what powerful effects drumming has had for him.    Thank you Jody Thompson at Jody Thompson Media Consultancy Ltd   Contact Lee/Let Loose: https://www.letlooseofficial.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lee_murrayinsta/?hl=en     Contact Sound Affects Podcast: Twitter/X and Bluesky: @SoundAffectsPod Instagram: sound_affects_podcast Email: soundaffectspodcast@gmail.com   Support and helplines: Mind: https://www.mind.org.uk/ Samaritans: https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/ CALM: https://www.thecalmzone.net/ My Blackdog: https://www.myblackdog.co/ Talk Club Charity: https://x.com/talkclubcharity   If you're a musician or music industry professional looking for specialised counselling, coaching or emotional support, the following charities are set up for this purpose: Tonic Music for Mental Health: https://www.tonicmusic.co.uk/ Help Musicians UK: https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/ Music Minds Matter: https://www.musicmindsmatter.org.uk/ Music Support: https://www.musicsupport.org/ British Association for Performing Arts Medicine: https://www.bapam.org.uk/ Lucy Heyman: https://www.instagram.com/lucyheymanmusic/?hl=en Denise Devenish Counselling: https://www.denisedevenishcounselling.co.uk/ Music Industry Therapist Collective: https://www.musicindustrytherapists.com/ OWHL: https://www.owhl.co.uk/   Useful Books and links: Touring and Mental Health: The Music Industry Manual: https://www.musicindustrytherapists.com/publications/   Sound Advice: https://www.foyles.co.uk/book/sound-advice/rhian-jones/9781838194901   Can Music Make You Sick?: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_66%3A9781912656646   BBC Documentary 'Boybands Forever': https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m0023h94/boybands-forever

    Ep 34: ’Touring and Mental Health: The Music Industry Manual’ with author Tamsin Embleton

    The book 'Touring and Mental Health: The Music Industry Manual' is published by Omnibus Press and is the brainchild of music industry psychotherapist and Music Industry Therapist Collective (MITC) founder Tamsin Embleton. It's is a collection of well-researched and rigorous essays authored by experts and academics in the field offering insight, signposting and mental health support for musicians and music industry professionals on the road. Considered the 'go-to' manual for any touring music professional, it has gained (and keeps gaining) massive praise in the national and international press since its launch in March. It's also been wildly praised online by prominent musicians worldwide. An audiobook is now in the works and you can find extra material from the book, further resources and details of workshops online at https://www.touringmanual.com/ Sound Affects Podcast featured Tamsin's Music Industry Therapist Collective back in 2018 (episode 4) when the book was in early stages of development. It's been really lovely following the journey of MITC and the book since then, and I attended the book launch back in March. Interview recorded April 2023.

    Interlude: more on Oasis and Mental Health (a montage)

    Hi everyone, some time ago I collaborated with Oasis pod with 2 episodes on Oasis and mental health and in those episodes I had said I would at some point take a further deep dive on this topic, especially this ethereal 'feeling' evoked by Noel's songwriting, for those who are interested in the emotional impact of Oasis' music, ethos and influence. This project is still in the works but in the meantime, in the week of world mental health day, I have put together a montage of clips taken from my podcast that pertain to Oasis and the feeling they give. All the clips you hear are from guests I interviewed for Sound Affects (fans, musicians, a music therapist and a neuroscientist), except for the final clip of me speaking which comes from ep 77 of Oasis podcast where James the host had added a backdrop of music to my words.
