    Ep.10: Steve Leggett Interviewed by Alice Lyons; 'Wellbeing and Mental Health in the Music Industry'
    Mar 23 2023
    Episode 10 time! Last in season! Woooooo!! This week I'm joined by Alice Lyons; coach, speaker, podcaster, LinkedIn sensation, and reluctant ukulele/bass player. PLOT TWIST: She'll be interviewing me! We're going to take a bit of a deep dive into my musical career, in particular looking at a point in time when my mental health fell to bits in order to examine how to stay sane in an industry seemingly designed to destroy the mental health of those working within it. It's deeply personal and I lay bare both my greatest successes and my darkest moments, offering advice I learned the hard way- in the hope that you won't have to. ...We'll then take a light-hearted look at my usual Big Gig Energy interview questions and I'll continue to fanboi over my old band and Stadium Arcadium! This features strong language, and there are points where I briefly mention my own experiences with suicidality which some may find triggering. Please only listen to this episode if you feel in a safe headspace to do so. Safeguarding links to charities and resources such as the Samaritans are linked at the bottom of this page.

    Ep.9: Contracts (or, 'How NOT to Sell Your Soul')
    Mar 16 2023

    Since a certain blues guitarist (maybe) did a deal with the Dark One, music and making questionable agreements have been very closely linked.

    This week we're looking at the different types of contract musicians have to face;

    -Management contracts

    -Record Label contracts

    -Individual Gig contracts

    -Agency contracts

    and 

    -Client contracts.


    I'll take a quick look at each along with a rough guide to not getting done over :)

    Party on dudes!
