I work in live music.
I've tour managed both breakthrough and established acts.
My main client in 2010 has been Seasick Steve.
Personal Info
I'm 44. Married with 2 teenage kids. I live in Hertfordshire, about 40 minutes drive from central London.
Work
Most of my work comes from the music industry, and some from the film industry. I've done theatre tours too.
I've got a lot of artists to a lot of gigs. So I have an understanding of the pressures performers face, as well as experience in many other aspects of touring and performance. I've tour managed clients through major TV performances such as Jools Holland's 'Later', and all the largest UK festivals including the Pyramid Stage Glastonbury.
I tend more towards a focus on the client and the financial aspects of the tour rather than the production side of things.
Rates
My rates vary depending on what you want me to do. I always like to be considered for work so please ask.
Tour Management is generally a job that pays daily wage. That's fine with me. But if you want to talk about percentages rather than a set wage, I'm all ears. I'm good at budgets, financing the gap between the start of the tour and the release of the first fee and floating tours on merchandise sales. I understand that times are hard.
I expect to be fed and given Per Diems while I'm on tour. I don't share hotel rooms.
Vehicles
Sorting out vehicles for your tour is something that needs to be done as early as possible. I can help you with anything from a tour bus to a transit van and anything in between.
I have a full clean UK driving licence and a British Passport.
Online Presence & other stuff
I'm a graduate of the London School of Economics and still follow my interest in money & economics.
I've been online since 1995. I once won an award for website design and I like to keep up with things happening on the web.
