2 Promoters, 1 Pod

• Artist Liaison (with Sarah Gilbert)

  We've heard the stories of chaotic first years of 2000trees as James and his band of merry men tried to find their feet as festival organisers.But what we haven't heard about - until now - was their secret weapon for success: a woman who already had a clue what she was doing in the live music business.That hero is Sarah Gilbert, who now runs the artist liaison teams at both Trees and ATG as well and much, much, much more.Not bad for someone whose favourite metal band is Shania Twain. We go again, every Thursday morning.

• Clashfinder General

  The dreaded clashfinder, followed by the tsunami of complaints. A bleak annual onslaught every festival promoter dreads.But what actually goes into putting that particular puzzle together?Well there's the contractual obligations, and then the obvious genre concerns, followed by logistics you do know about and then those you don't know about.And where in that tangled web of restrictions do you place bands on the same record label?Gav and James attempt to explain why it's not as simple as doing as they please, no matter how much they'd like to.www.seetickets.com/tour/2-promoters-1-podWe go again, every Thursday morning.

• Golf Chants, Sales Rants & Porn Bants - Q&A 16

  It's been a hectic auld week but Gav and James carve out just enough time to plunder the mailbox to explore the curious minds of the listeners.Ticket sales strategies. Bristol Trip Advisor. Merch pre-sales. Running pod jokes and Xmas jumpers.And why did Gav choose to name the pod after some internet filth and then double down with branded cups?Fore! We go again, every Thursday morning.

• Censoring Two Promoters

  With the growing popularity (it's appreciated!) of the pod, some people in the music business are less than delighted with the frank discussions that take place for the listening pleasure of ticket buyers. James was reminded of the fact that not everyone is a fan when he spoke to an irate agent this week.So Gav and James take some time to reflect on the impact of 2 Promoters, 1 Pod and how it's viewed by some people on our side of the fence.Is it possible that they might have a point? Are we a positive or a negative in this business? Does it matter in the grand scheme of things? And do we care?We go again, every Thursday morning.

• The To Do List: Damnation

  Damnation is on the horizon and the reality of the outstanding to do list is starting to weigh on the team.But what exactly needs to be done before the gates open at BEC Arena in two months' time?Well there's the marquees to order, the cabins to hire, the laminates to get designed and printed, the backline, the crew, the parking, the traders, the radios, the scanners, the merch, wifi, fencing, security, first aid... and will someone think about the bloody towels!?Oh, and the small issue of Gav having his own cabin to discuss.We go again, every Thursday morning.
