    S3 Ep 9 - Lara Dives In

    Chris and Jacko in the penultimate episode of the series welcome Lara Bothe to The Rep Shift. A current London resident Lara has made her way from watching bands in the local pub called “Die Rose” in Elchesheim-Illingen, Germany to working some pretty major UK festivals along the way. As a Tour Manager, Promoter Rep and Festival Artist Liaison Lara has sadly had to put up with a lot of unwanted and toxic behaviour which given the conversations we’ve had with our other guests and working ourselves in live music for over 10 years is sadly no surprise. We must all do better to make sure the live industry is a safe and inclusive space for everyone to feel welcome and a part of.   Here are some amazing groups to be part of and follow:  Women In Live Music Turn Up Her Mic She Is The Music Safe Gigs for Women Hosted on Acast.

    S3 Ep 8 - Jamie Leaves the Party

    Jamie Ford set up the promotions company Honeymooner in Southampton and has bought some of the most exciting bands to the south coast. Learning his trade with Ricky at The Joiners he talks to Chris and Jacko about the life of a new promoter learning his craft, gaining the respect from agents / managers and continuing to grow the brand. Jamie has also played a huge part of the success So Young Magazine and now So Young live , setting up the The Parallel Music Conference and drumming in Better Joy. For anyone interested in promoting / live events speaking to Jamie about his journey would be a great place to start. Oh and throw in a very unhappy TM, this episode really is a great indication of what life is like in live music.

    S3 Ep 6 - Jasmine’s Slam Dunk

    Chris and Jacko are joined by Jasmine and her dog Bear who take us on an emotional journey through the logistics and organising of an independent outdoor festival. With so many Festivals no longer operational what Slam Dunk has achieved since its club formation is testament to the incredible ambition and drive of its team.  “Is it ok that I’m on the stage? It’s your stage Jasmine you can go wherever you want” Is probably one of my favourite moments I’ve heard on the podcast since we’ve been doing this.  Oh and of course throw in Box Office meltdowns, sewage flooded venues and a bizarre rider run. This episode has it all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
