Early October saw the yearly UK Live event in London town. A day for all those concerned in the live industry to get together to learn, network and party into the evening with the awards night.
The highlight of our day was definitely hearing some of John Giddings life adventures, which was topped off with him receiving the Outstanding Contribution Award. Steve Zapp from ITB, who we worked very closely with on the recent Biffy Clyro dates, also took home Agent of the Year, again thoroughly well deserved. We also had the honour of being seated with Pablo and his team from the Orchard who came away with Regional Promoter of the Year and, as said in all our tweets of that evening, we are truly thrilled to be working in partnership with all our clients and celebrating their success.
