Description

Local music venues are shutting down nationwide at a SHOCKING rate. 2 Every week...
This week we are joined by award-winning promoter Luke Hinton. Luke has been in the independent promotions business for over 15 years, working tirelessly to support the foundation of our industry. A foundation which has taken the ultimate beating over the last few years, and doesn't seem to be getting back up. Covid, the energy crisis, the rising cost of living; a constant barrage of hurdles for an already financially struggling sector. 
"Unsigned bands are crap" that's the consensus from Radio X DJ Chris Moyles. 
So what can YOU do to help rebuild and save the very bedrock of the music industry? Luke has a few ideas you've probably never considered before.

So, you’re a Musician? You’ve got no idea what to do next? Welcome to the club! OpenBack is the weekly podcast where Will and Tristan discuss surviving the music industry. Covering the perils, the joys, networking and how to ration a packet of pasta for a month when the wedding show you played never pays up. No one really knows the answers so let’s break down this abstract world together, and hopefully, next time you're asked at a family party, “so what job are you aiming to get from all this,” you can politely tell them to get lost.
