Young people not drinking is killing music venues…That is according to one of the UK's leading Music Agents and Promoters, John Giddings, who has worked with the likes of David Bowie, Madonna, Sex Pistols, Rolling Stones and has run the Isle of Wight Festival since its revival in 2002.Is there any truth to this?To discuss, guest host Sinead Ryan is joined by John Brereton, Grand Social PR Manager & Director of the Dublin Bowie Festival, Rebecca Cappuccini, Spokesperson for Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland, First Music Contact CEO Angela Dorgan and Marcus Lester from Plug Artists.
Well, let's see. As I post an episode, Spotify helpfully prompts me to answer, "What else do you want your audience to know?" Probably a lot of things. But we finally had our dads on the podcast, and unsurprisingly, one of them got away from us down some rabbit trails. If you like Dave Light (I know I do!), you will enjoy this. John Giddings did also get some good stuff in. P.S. As I checked the recording to post it, I heard us talking about how we were recording this near Mother's Day, so we were really ahead of schedule with our Father's Day episode. It is now August 4th, and that's how it goes, lol.
