The Money Trench - The Music Industry Podcast with Mark Sutherland

This week’s TMT guest is a true champion of songs and songwriters. The Other Songs’ co-founder and CEO, Alastair Webber, is determined to make a difference for creatives – and is really putting his money where his mouth is, with master points for songwriters, artist-friendly deals and big backing for music education, at the BRIT School and beyond. He also tells us about his days at Island Records in one of the most high-powered A&R teams ever assembled, and what it was like growing up in one of the UK’s best known musical families. Tune in!

This week’s TMT guest has repeatedly rewired the DNA of British pop music on her way to becoming the UK’s hitmaker-in-chief. Kamille is the ultimate multi-hyphenate: artist, songwriter, producer and owner of her own label/publishing company, and – talking ahead of picking up the Inspiration award at this week’s MPG Awards – she has plenty of must-hear views on the realities of modern hitmaking and why the creatives behind the songs need more respect (and money). Plus, some top tales from her time working with Little Mix and on The X Factor with Simon Cowell. Don’t miss it!

This week’s TMT guest has seen the music industry from all angles. Jeremy Lascelles started as a manager in the early ‘70s and has also been a tour manager, worked at labels (Virgin Records in its ‘70s/’80s heyday), publishers (Chrysalis Music) and is now co-founder and CEO of his own burgeoning independent company Blue Raincoat Music, which combines management, records and publishing. One of the true legends of the game, Jeremy has some great stories featuring the likes of Lou Reed, Sting and how he made Three Lions happen for The Lightning Seeds. But he also has the searing insight of someone who has been there and done it several times over, but who has always retained his love of music and everything that comes with it. Enjoy!

This week’s TMT guests are true champions of British music, as well as two of the smartest young managers in the game. Adam Harris and Callum Read are the co-founders of Touchdown MGMT and Happy Artist Records, and helped Scottish heroes The Snuts put rock music back on the UK map long before its current revival. We had a fun chat about what it takes to break an act in the current climate, the key to a strong artist-manager relationship – and why you should be very careful about how you answer the phone when Moby calls… Listen here - https://pods.to/tmt81 #themoneytrench #musicindustry #artistmanagement #recordlabel Mark Sutherland Mike Walsh
