post pandemic i think is much the same as before - albeit in an altered live music environment (which is actually incredibly busy)

be prepared to work hard - try as many different roles as you can to get a broad spectrum of experience and knowledge. focus on what you learn you enjoy the most (unless you're lucky enough to go in knowing what it is you want to do).

remember nobody is too big or too clever to make the tea / sweep the stage

be resilient and keep plugging away - there will be setbacks it's how you handle them that sets you apart.

work hard and be nice to people . . . .

give them to the next band in . . .

plenty - but they stay private as they should

the brown M&M's thing has been endlessly mis-represented - it was only there to ensure that local promoters were actually reading the detail - not because anyone would actually be upset if there were brown M&M's in the bowl . . .

there was one called jay who was pretty spectacular

made rubbish tea though

and kept blithering on about video

had to go . . . .

the libertines was an interesting night for sure. REALLY unusual crowd dynamics and behaviour. barricade layouts change for almost every show with a LOT of thought from a very experienced team on how best to create a safe environment for that specific event.
