Tour Talk #08 - Lucinda Potter

It's Tour Talk time again! This week we're joined by a good friend and all round badass Lucinda Potter... Not only is she a touring audio engineer but she also has loads of experience as a vocalist and a performer so we get a really cool insight into how she developed both career paths simultaneously.  

 As well as the fun stuff we also try and tackle some important and prevalent issues - including taking the opportunity to challenge ourselves and the industry as a whole on the ingrained vocab within the business and approach to women in our workplace. Clearly there’s still a lot of work left to do here and hopefully regular conversations like this will continue to increase awareness and promote change. 

We ask Lucinda what it was like having to accept the complete closure of the live entertainment industry during the pandemic and how it affected her as someone who’s sole income is derived from that sector.  We also get her thoughts on government / public reaction to it and if the term ‘Roadie’ undermines the importance and level of expertise required to tackle some of the job roles within live entertainment. 

On the less serious side we have blast hearing about the best sounding shows we’ve ever heard and where the best place to stand at a show is if you want the best mix. We cover bumping into friends in random places on tour, the virtues of Scotch Egg’s as festival food and we wrap it up by everyone giving me a hard time for trying to bring a little light into the world with my breakfast bagel.
