Welcome to The Money Trench! This week, Mark is joined by John Giddings of Solo Music Agency and the Isle of Wight Festival.
Best known for transforming the Isle of Wight Festival into one of the UK's biggest music events, John shares stories from his time working with some of the world's biggest artists from The Rolling Stones to U2 & Madonna.
The pair discuss the art of building a festival lineup, the story behind bringing Bowie to Glastonbury, the future of touring, and why John believes artists, not promoters or venues, should do more to support grassroots music.
