@margeaux_s - best friend, business partner & co-owner of
@yummproductionsnz - deeply connected through our shared enjoyment in holding spaces for people to gather and connect.
Running events is a delight and a challenge and each new event brings its own lessons and enjoyment.
Our upcoming gig with
@stavroz_official is the first event we have done with such an internationally well-known band and we said yes to it knowing it would be a biggger risk to take on (risk it for the biscuit?).
But I just couldn’t quite pass on the idea as Stavroz are one of those bands I have listened to again & again & again, thanks to such delightful songs like The Finishing. And because we know that this 4-person Belgium band, that sells out shows internationally, plays one heck of an epic live performance 🔥 🎷
Hosting a big, well-known band means levelling up, pulling up our boot straps, and diving into more of the bigger event world, such as marketing & production (thanks for the hot tips
@almoislandlife )
Yes, we chose this - luckily for me Margeaux also up for a challenge - but it isn’t always an easy ride, and we are not sure if we are hitting all the marks. Maybe we aren’t - maybe some are flying left, some flying right, and maybe the occasional one is mis-firing and heading behind us. But luckily Margeaux and I get to share the weight of challenges that turn up with such an undertaking, pat each others back, and continue forward. One of the many reasons why I love doing business with her.
We are also trying out a new venue for the first time - The
@assemblychch - and we got very excited after revisiting it last week. We saw how we can change things to suit our flavour, how to decor and get a nice flow of movement, lounge and dance floor area in the space, and how the space doesn’t event smell like beer as it’s a venue and not a bar…
All of this is to say that Yumm Production is hosting a very talented international band this coming Friday and we think you might like it - come join us!
If money is a barrier, send me a PM - there are many ways to juggle a cat and I would love to support you in attending…
Oh, and the link to tickets is in my bio, or 👇
