Broadcaster Satnam Rana and Journalist Adrian Goldberg present twenty-two conversations with Birmingham musicians, promoters, managers, venue owners and entrepreneurs who have all contributed to local, national, and international music culture. Join us and our special guests for conversations about their lives in music, their connections to the city, and how Birmingham has inspired or influenced them, personally and musically.
Selected dates also feature free live performances from the artists appearing On Record. The first of its kind, On Record is a multi-artist, multi-genre concept album forming a sonic love letter to the city of Birmingham. Produced as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival, the eleven-track album will be available on a limited vinyl release and across all streaming platforms.
One of the most prominent women on the ‘90s rave scene, Mistress Mo got her break as the resident DJ at SLAG and went on to co-promote and DJ at Flashback. She also co-owned the Old Skool Daze record shop in Selly Oak and is the co-founder of TicketSellers and Eventree.
In this episode Mo describes how she went from Mo Jones teenage raver to Mistress Mo, the DJ and promoter of the popular Birmingham-based old skool event FLASHBACK. She explains how the journey continued until she became one of the UK’s leading events organisers. Starting in 1998, TicketSellers began promoting rave events in Birmingham and while constantly innovating, she was the first to launch e-ticketing in 1999, paving the way for the industry.
