Hello Everyone,

The 2025 Summer Season proved to be another successful year for the Music Consortium as we continued to grow and expand our horizons. Our relationship with Festival Republic has expanded and we now advance contractors, artists and provide Technical Support for all their premium festivals in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Twenty twenty-five was also the year we won a contract with the Premier Jumping League to act as Senior Advisors and event managers for fourteen of their events worldwide. The first event is in Florida at The World Equestrian Centre in March 2027, so I’m busy flying all around the world checking locations that may be suitable for an event with Claudia & Mike. Very Exciting.

I received an email from the Irish Music Rights Organisation Ireland this morning advising us that we’d won their award for Technical Festival Crew of the year for Electric Picnic for the third consecutive year. A big thank you must go to the whole Irish TMC Crew team, in no particular order; Ritch Ames, Dave McLynn, Declan Hogan, Rory Kelly, Henry O’Loughlin, Sam Beecham, Emma Nolan, Neil Marcus, Ronan Murphy, Stephen “Hammer” Lawless”, Tommy Boyle, the show call crew we provided for the Main Stage, the whole Irish Festival Republic team and our TMC Tech Prod staff in the UK, particularly Brittany, Rose & Adam. Apologies if I’ve missed anyone. Well done to all and thank you.

Let’s hope we continue to move in an upward trajectory in 2026!

Huge thanks to all the crew who went out to Stradbally Hall without a moments rest after coming off site for LEEDS fest. Big shout out for the Stage manager , who always treats everyone at TMC with the upmost respect, we look forward to working with him given every chance.

Same again next year! Fingers crossed!
