noisy and outspokenShow Notes
Toni Coe-Brooker is the Programming and Production Manager at The Green Door Store in Brighton, as well as heading up the Save the Venues Campaign. Toni is a really prominent and active member of the music industry, working in multiple venues over the last ten years, as well as making music herself. From doing charity work to being on the road, I wanted to talk to her about how she got into working within her current job and any advice she may have for other creatives wanting to push into music. This episode is a really important one, we talk about diversity in all avenues of the music industry and how things have changed over the last 10 years.
