This is the sixth edition of The Delicates' Lounge - a podcast for all us music event tourists who love to be where the action is and occasionally like to grumble about having to queue for our passes or a beer or to get into a venue. You know, all things that we missed for so long during the pandemic.

Now and again we’ll get together with a couple of delicate delegates at one of the many events we love to go to.

This time, I was very happy to speak to friends from the festival family who over the years I’ve seen more than I’ve seen my own family at times.

I’m joined by Andy Jones from Focus Wales; Jeff Beaulieu of Hopeful Tragedy Records; Healthy Touring & The Back Lounge's Suzi Green; Lotje Horvers from Backstage Pass; Manuel Schottmüller of Emerged Agency; So Alive Music Conference's Ruth Koleva; Peter Briggs of VIP-Booking.Com; and Robert Stolt from the Future of Festivals event to find out how they are managing themselves, their projects, and the events they are now attending.

We talked about our experiences at this year's Eurosonic Conference & Festival as well as all the projects we are working on.

We recorded this conversation during Eurosonic in Groningen on Thursday 18th and Friday 19th January, 2024.

A huge thank you to the very helpful Frank Janssen, Eveline van der Slijde, & Robert Meijerink of the Eurosonic team for letting us use a quietist corner of the De Oosterpoort to record these conversations.
