Big Fish in Live UK / Festival Magazine

admin — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:54:30 +0000

Louise, our Client Services Director, was featured in this month’s Festival Magazine, a supplement to the monthly Live UK magazine. In it she talks about the value a successful, well thought out partnership can bring to a brand/event relationship, and how sponsorship should be much more than a badge for an event.

Check out her article below!

Pop Life

BBC2 have just shown the final episode of Pop Life, a great three part series spilling the beans on what its really like to be in a boy band, a girl band and solo artist riding high on the crest of a pop wave, topping the charts, and the ride that follows as they suddenly find themselves the next big thing.

If you didn’t manage to catch it there’s a few days left to watch on iPlayer here.

The Brits

The Brit awards has come and gone for another year, with Adele adding more gongs to the six Grammys she won last week, and causing the only controversy of this year’s awards by flipping the middle finger after getting her acceptance speech cut to go to Blur.

We love a bit of controversy, and the Brits has had its fair share over the years – who could forget Sam and Mick, Alice and John, Liam and Robbie, the list goes on. If we had to give an award for Best Controversial Moment though, the clear winner would have to be Jarvis.

Interesting, if a little ranty, article on the development of microchipped wristbands and their use at festivals.

Nice-Story-For-The-New-Year Post

Now this is a nice story. NPR have a great article about Peter Frampton being reunited with his dream guitar which was thought lost in a plane crash in Venezuela in 1980. Frampton had no idea his precious guitar had survived the crash and had made its way into the possession of a musician on the island of Curaçao, until it was spotted by a local guitar collector who recognised it and contacted Frampton with the information of its whereabouts.

On getting back his prized instrument, Frampton said “It’s got to go on the road. For it to be given back to me … It’s not something I’m going to hide in the closet.”

Full story here and a great picture of a very happy Frampton here.

Big Fish Music Advent – 25th Dec

25th December – Waterstrider ‘Constellation’

There’s an argument that an advent shouldn’t include Christmas Day, so if this doesn’t count I’m going to use it as an excuse to slip in one of my favourite songs of this year, Waterstrider’s ‘Constellation’.

Happy Christmas!
