Hopefully the night will descend into beautiful chaos, gongs will be given, songs will be sung and planks will be spanked and a great time will be had by all!”VIP packages are available that include a limited awards T-Shirt, VIP access, after show party ticket and Vive Le Rock annual.

My Life Story with Jake Shillingford in conversation At the time of their debut single, "Girl A, Girl B, Boy C" (1993) produced by Giles Martin son of George, the group had a regular line-up of twelve members. Though the membership fluctuated continually, it rarely dipped into single figures until 1999, when their third album credited just four regular members, though most of the former line-up were still used as session musicians. Their orchestral sound led them to be compared to groups such as Tindersticks and especially The Divine Comedy. Their debut album, Mornington Crescent was released on 10 January 1995. My Life Story enjoyed the most success at the time of their second album The Golden Mile, which was released on 10 March 1997. It spawned five singles that entered the lower half of the UK Singles Chart, but finally disbanded after a series of farewell concerts in December 2000. On 26 May 2006 the band reformed with the full line-up of thirteen members, to play at the Mean Fiddler (LA2) on Charing Cross Road in London, in support of their forthcoming Best Of album. The gig got a review rating of 10/10 from Planet Sound. A second reunion show took place at the Astoria in London on 8 December 2006. Further reunions have taken place every two years on 13 December 2007 at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, and Koko on 26 November 2009, where the band performed their debut album, Mornington Crescent, for the first time in its entirety. In 2009, it was announced that, to mark 15 years since their debut album, the group would reform and perform the album in full, together with later songs. This concert took place at KOKO which is next door to Mornington Crescent tube station. My Life Story announced that they were to reunite again to perform The Golden Mile at the Shepherds Bush Empire on 3 March 2012 to celebrate fifteen years since the album's release. In mid-2013 the group announced their first UK tour in 14 years. Singer Jake Shillingford is reported to have said: "For many years we have only been able to play a big London show due to the sheer size and scale of the band. Now I am able to take my songs out on the road with a stripped down tight rocking outfit." "I will be joined by various members of My Life Story along my journey around the UK, culminating in our traditional annual London concert with the original bunch, I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again, expect a big, bold and brash performance, all foxy horns and horny foxes." In September 2016 My Life Story released their first single in 16 years, "24 Hour Deflowerer". The launch was marked with a two-night residency at The Borderline in London on 14–15 October, with all audience members receiving a numbered limited edition 7" vinyl of the single. My Life Story performed in the Star Shaped Festival, a Britpop revival tour, alongside The Bluetones, Space, Dodgy and Salad, in July/August 2017 and again in August/September 2018 together with Echobelly, Black Grape and The Supernaturals. The band's current five-piece line-up features Jake Shillingford (vocals), Nick Evans (guitar), Chris Hardwick (drums), Jack Hosgood (bass) and Aimee Smith (keys). The fourth My Life Story studio album, World Citizen, was crowd-funded with pre-orders from fans and was released on 6th September 2019.

Here I will share honestly to the parts of you that are ready to soften and be inspired. Exploring ways we can release the blocks that hold us apart from our highest potential. Together we rise!In this episode, I am sharing my thoughts on the real work in life. To come to peace within ourselves, find presence and release our conditioning so that we can be free.For those of you I haven’t met yet:My experience lies in my long journey of recovery on many levels, my tools have been yoga, movement, the 12 step programs for addiction, meditation, experience and understanding of mental illness and cultivating conscious relationships. My anchors are nature, creative expression, my emotional and physical body. There have been many beautiful teachers, friends and mentors that have inspired and supported my growth. All of this and more has been my medicine for growth.On the more physical realm, I trained and worked as a professional Ballet and Contemporary dancer before staring KIND Yoga in 2015, offering spaces for people to connect to themselves through regular retreats, Yoga classes, sound healings and ceremonies across London and out in nature.I am in a band with my sister called AYA, which makes heavenly pop music using sister harmonies, minimal beats and deep bass lines (Heal Me Now by AYA in this episode’s intro and outro). We have toured in the UK and Europe, supporting cult band Lamb and performed in venues such as Shepherds Bush Empire and Manchester Cathedral.AYA can be streamed through all platforms: find us here at www.weareaya.com

Rifa and Chris do their weekly dance of near-death with the all powerful octopus of culture, art, tech and diversity. This week we reflect on Jim Bob's solo show at Shepherds Bush Empire (where Chris was part of the band). We then binge-watch the second series of Brit Marling's brilliant reality-bending mystery TV series The OA, which has gone up on Netflix. Finally we taste-test three different artisan vegan cheeses from Fauxmagerie, the deli in Brixton Market, while arguing if vegan cheese (or even normal dairy cheese) is a Good Thing. As usual, please give us a 'like' and a 'follow' and leave a nice review, it makes a massive difference to how widely we're heard if you support us. Thanks a lot.

Nathan Barley Phillips in the TuneCore London office speaks with Jamie Osman, a manager with Red Light Management and the founder of Easy Life records, about when artists should look for a manager and what exactly a manager can offer to new and established musicians. Starting as a local promoter in Buckinghamshire in 2005, Jamie Osman was a 16-year-old who just wanted to put on gigs for his mates. By 2008, he was running shows in six venues across the county putting on bands such as You Me At Six, Bring Me The Horizon, and Enter Shikari creating a bubbling community for rock music in an otherwise sleepy area. At age 19, Jamie ventured into management signing a small UK rock act called Deaf Havana. Within four years, they had signed to BMG, sold 100,000 albums, and sold out the prolific Shepherds Bush Empire and London Round House. This led onto similar success with UK rock act Lower Than Atlantis who went on to sell out Brixton Academy and sell 150,000 albums globally. With a growing roster of acts, Jamie partnered with the global management giant Red Light in 2013. Helping to set up the U.K office. In 2014 he opened Easy Life records in conjunction with Sony, an independent rock label which has gone on to sell over 150,000 albums in three years. With seven top 40's and numerous radio 1 playlists, it's been an exceedingly successful venture going independent in 2017 to offer artists more flexible global deals. Coupling management with the label has enabled Jamie to be forward facing in an ever changing business leading him to win Music Week's 30 under 30 at age 25. With a continually growing business within Red Light that now includes Marshmello, Bastille, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Everything Everything, Oh Wonder, Interpol, Lower Than Atlantis, and more, Red Light management goes from strength to strength with seven offices across the globe. With a career spanning nearly 14 years, despite just yet being 30, Jamie has also lectured Music Management and Marketing at Bucks Uni as well as being a panelist on numerous music industry events across Europe.
