John Levett agent and promoter of live music jazz funk and soul
Today I'm going to be talking to John Levett who runs the listening room music agency. Twenty three years ago his children were budding musicians but they were struggling to find gigs and he wanted to help them nurture their talents. So he started getting them bookings, from there on he worked with more musicians, bands and venues. Today he books for events, restaurants, pubs, weddings funerals etcetera but also shares in the risk of that booking which is especially important in today's climate.
Great chat with John who I first met nearly 20 years ago. John talks about important points to do with aspiration for both musicians and footballers, and their being led to believe within society that there is a career path and how we can help in securing a creative environment for young talent.
