Incredibly happy to have Promoter & Booking Agent; Ricky Bates, as my guest for Episode 13.
Ricky has been absolutely pivotal to keeping the historical venue of 'The Joiners Arms', as well as the music scene, alive in Southampton, UK for over 8 years. Having also worked on 'Bestival', 'Groezrock Festival', 'Common People' festival, as well putting shows on at Guildhall and being involved in the rise of 'Kerrang!' favourites 'Creeper'; Ricky has the experience and hindsight to give sound advice on how we can help keep the live music scene alive.
The conversation is absolutely full of gossip, trivia, wrestling and of course music. If you want to see live music survive, then this conversation is for you and in my opinion incredibly important.
