    114: Tom Gray - Gomez & Chair of the Ivors Academy Jul 28, 2023
    Show notes Currently, an artist would need 62million streams on Spotify to break even on a £25k budget. This needs to change and our guest today Tom Gray is leading that change.
    Tom is Chair of the prestigious Ivor Novello’s, and founding member of Gomez, and is doing more to try to change the music industry than most, through his Broken Records campaign which was backed by The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and many more, to ensure the fairer distribution of streaming royalties to artists at every level.
    Today we’ll be taking a deep dive into this topic, hearing how we as listeners can help, Whippin’ Piccadilly, and how the Ivor Novello's choose winners.
    There’ll be no Pussyfooting around.
    Hosted and Produced by Chris Simpson.

    112: Toby Sebastian Jun 06, 2023
    Show notes Imagine being an incredible singer- songwriter but finding time be in Game of Thrones and play Andrea Bocelli in "The Music of Silence."
    What a career Toby Sebastian is having, hear how he tackles deciding setlists, what the music industry could learn from the film industry and how he walks the tightrope between feeling under from over rehearsed.
    Toby also currently is appearing with Kate Nash in Coffee Wars, available now.

    111: Kate Nash - What change is needed in the music industry? May 09, 2023
    Show notes "All the heads of every major label or big indie labels should be made to resign."
    This episode was supposed to discuss Kate's new film Coffee Wars, but we began by touching upon the issues within the music industry that emerging artists need to navigate (such as being stolen from, a lack of inclusive design for women and how to identify trusted people) and we NEVER. LOOKED. BACK.
    Within lies Kate's step by step process as to how the music industry needs to drastically change. It's very thought-provoking.
    The film is great by the way, and you should see it. It's called Coffee Wars and is available on Amazon Prime. Kate's co-star Toby Sebastian talks more about the film in our next episode.

    110: Bim Part 2 - "The music industry isn't built for women." Apr 23, 2023
    Show notes Arguably our most important episode to date. Bastille and Elton John backing vocalist Bim explains how the music industry has not been built for women, from the design of touring patterns to tour buses facilities, and covers what needs to change. We pick up this conversation in future episodes with Kate Nash and Liam Gallagher cellist Liz Hanks. We also are joined by Bastian Hues to ask questions from an upcoming artists' perspective. A thought provoking listen.

    109: Bim Part 1 - Bastille (plus performing 'Stand By Me' at the Royal Wedding) Apr 17, 2023
    Show notes Imagine knowing you are about to perform live to a billion people watching the Royal Wedding. Bim, singer with Bastille and Elton John, walks us step by step of every thought process of how to perform under the greatest of pressure, when coordinating 'Stand by Me' at Harry & Megan's wedding, plus discusses playing MTV Unplugged as vocalist with Bastille and how to best get legal representation as an up coming artist to avoid exploitation.
    Part 2 - possibly one of out most important episodes to date, will be coming soon.

    108: Tucan - Superorganism Mar 20, 2023
    Show notes Today we discuss creativity with the mind of Dr Tucan Taylor Michaels, drummer & producer with international banging tune-makers Superorganism, one of the most ingenious, innovative, inventive, experimental and original bands of recent times, often using extremely random objects as instruments as a back drop to colourful pop perfection.
    We also explore playing their first ever show on Later with Jools Holland no less, the merits of forming online, onstage tech failures, mixing Jungle and collaborating with Stephen Malkmus.
    “Production can’t cover a bad song.”
    We are also joined by Bastian Hues who asks questions as an emerging artist.
    Do follow us on Insta, Twitter and Facebook by searching @thestageleftpod, we get a little adrenaline kick when we see a new follower, which is something we should probably speak to our therapist about.
    Thanks!
