Praise for Touring and Mental Health – The Music Industry Manual

‘This book should be a compulsory purchase for anyone who spends time on the road (or sends others out there). It can add decades to a career, give wisdom to the most exhausted mind, and offer encouragement to every burdened heart.

James Ainscough, CEO Help Musicians UK

The perfect book at the perfect time.’ 

Marty Hom, tour manager for Fleetwood Mac, Shakira, Beyoncé

‘A remarkable encyclopaedia of wisdom…  this impressive book needs to be read by every single artist and every single psychological worker as well.’

Professor Brett Kahr, Senior Fellow, Tavistock Institute of Medical Psychology

An essential must-read for absolutely everyone involved with the music industry. At last, an honest and revelatory document that highlights the complexities with life on the road and existing as an artist in the public eye, capturing all the highs, lows and in-betweens.’
