Touring and Mental Health: The Music Industry Manual
Edited by Tamsin Embleton
THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR TOURING PROFESSIONALS
‘I wish this book had been around when I first started touring … It should be the first thing we all pack when we head out on the road.’ Philip Selway, Radiohead
This comprehensive manual will help musicians and those working in live music to identify and cope with the various physical and psychological difficulties that can occur during, or as a result of, touring. It covers topics including mental health, peak performance and performance anxiety, addiction, group dynamics, relationship problems, dealing with the media, physical health, diversity and inclusion, crisis management and post-tour recovery.
Written by health and performance professionals, this timely and essential book provides robust clinical advice, cutting edge research, practical strategies, resources and detailed illustrations. Each chapter is underpinned with personal recollections from musicians and prominent touring personnel, including Nile Rodgers, Justin Hawkins, Philip Selway, Charles Thompson, Katie Melua , Kieran Hebden, Jake Berry, Tina Farris, Taylor Hanson, Trevor Williams, Lauren Mayberry, Pharoahe Monch, Jim Digby, Will Young, Angie Warner, Dale ‘Opie’ Skjerseth and many more.
Touring and Mental Health is designed to be picked up, put down, read at length and passed around the tour bus.
The Jam 1982 - Special Edition
This signed hardback book with a slipcase also contains an exclusive print from Neil 'Twink' Tinning.
This richly illustrated and revealing oral history of their final year, led principally by the voice of drummer Rick Buckler, contains a number of previously unseen images and untold stories, taking us from the recording and release of their final studio album, The Gift, to The Jam's last appearances together.
In addition to Buckler's memories of the time, The Jam 1982 also brings together testimonies from key figures to tell the tale of a single, fateful year: the year The Jam, for better or worse, went out at the very top of their game.
