About Me
With over 10 years experience working at management level throughout
the industry (running multiple venue rosters in every major territory of the
London clubland market – North / South / East and Central London); I am
a highly experienced In-house Events Manager / Venue Programmer /
Live + Club Booker and Freelance Industry Consultant; with an extensive
track record of breaking records, transforming venue rosters and booking

2. sellout in-house + external events; with my finger firmly on the pulse of
London’s clubland & live music scenes.
Having been head-hunted for positions as Head of Events / Head Booker /
Events Manager and Venue Programmer for multiple venues and clubs
from 300 to 1500 cap, I have consistently worked with many of the
industries hottest Promoters, DJs, Bands and Clubnight brands, which has
allowedme to build strong Promoter connections across the genres; inter-
personal relations with major Press / PR + Agency contacts; aswell as an
unrivalled database of B2B contacts throughout the upper echelons of the
live music industry.
Throughout my career, I have had the good fortune of working with the
biggest clubnight brands within every major genre:- from Indie / Rock n
Roll / Electro, right through to House, Techno, Drum n Bass, Funk n Soul,
Blues, Jazz, HipHop, RnB, ElectroSwing (and everything inbetween);
which has in turn given me a detailed understanding of the London
nightlife market within almost every major demographic, genre and scene.
However – no-one can know it all, so I believe that what makes me
uniquely effective and efficient is the fact that I utilize progressive
promoter + artist analytic techniques to gauge profile and draw of any
given external event, in addition to meta-data intel and custom
promotional strategies to engineer profitable in-house events for whatever
venue specific / tailored / custom format and target market is required –
often using expert contacts to get the inside line on anything I may not
know about a given scene so I always have the edge over my competitors.
In terms of specific freelance / independent career highlights – I have
launched multiple venue-filling clubnight brands tailored to the needs of
the client / venue to maximize footfall, profits and exposure
e.g. Music Week's Agency Showcase / Industry Networking Events
‘BreakOut’ which I devised from scratch, launching with a front pulling
400-600 members of the industry for major ITB / CAA / Primary / Xray
etc agency showcases every month for over 5years;
Tales of the Unexpected – Friday Nights @ Proud Camden - turned over
1000-1500cap footfall every week throughout my tenure as Head Booker
for Proud Group; breaking nightly, monthly + quarterly revenue records;

3. with 4figure profit margins OTD + nightly takings between £25-£35K
OTB - depending on the time of year and relative budgetary outlay.
Re. In-house Promotions, I have managed + personally orchestrated all the
promotional / pr and marketing for numerous venues throughout my
career, as well as building full in-house teams for venues such as Clapham
Grand / Bloomsbury Lanes / Brixton Jamm, in addition to signing off
unbeatable deals with my 3rd party Viral Marketing and PR partners –
Little Black Book PR / Tidal Agency.
In relation to in-house events / residencies - I am experienced at
submitting detailed pre-event budgets and post event PnL reports, accurate
weekly + monthly footfall predictions for staffing, as well as writing
promotional + press release copy + event function sheets for the Ops /
Tech teams with ALL event info / requirements to go out to promoters /
performers + all contributors to every event in the calendar.
As an independent promoter, my clubnights and concept night events have
garnered national press exposure both previewing and reviewing event’s

profitable and sustainable nights all over London.

Head Live Music Booker and Event Programmer for Proud Group –

10. Proud Camden - 800cap
Key Responsibilities:
Events Manager / Venue Programmer / Head Booker / PR / Marketing for
Proud Camden and Proud Cabaret:
"No-one has booked the venue as successfully - before or since Tom
Wright was Head Booker for Proud Camden" Alex Proud (MD - Proud
Group)
- Proud Camden (Main Gallery 800cap + South Gallery 200cap) - 2
club nights booked every night of the week across the Main Gallery/
South Gallery
During my time at Proud, I built Proud's roster until we had a completely
full roster - with 2 major club nights every single night of the week -
booked 3 months in advance.
I worked with 40-60 promoters in any given month and brought in
previously unsurpassed numbers on every night of the week, bringing in

capacity numbers and £20K-£30K+ bar-spends:
I personally brought in and programmed a roster of nights including:

generated capacity numbers!
I devised the concept, pitched it to Music Week, got them onboard as
official partners and launched the night with Music Week and All Night
Long Promotions who I brought onboard to manage the night (due to my
exclusivity contract with Proud Group preventing me from running my
own night or working with other brands to profit from events at Proud).
MW ran a front page article about the launch and regular half page
previews and reviews on each event. Every night has a major industry
presence with high profile industry given exclusive access to the stables

11. making the night THE monthly networking event for the industry and a
must for A+R due to the calibre of the line-ups - always way ahead of the
curve thanks to our unique positioning with insider info from the events
industry affiliates, labels,press and agents. This high concept event was a
result of a gap in the market I identified which takes advantage of agents
need to push their hottest new acts - allowing them to expose them to a
guaranteed high profile industry crowd, in exchange for giving us a major
headliner from their roster....which in turn, ensures sellout numbers and
thusly exposure for their new acts.
Sunday Best - Rob Da Bank's label event / flagship club night....say no
more. Capacity Numbers + Queues round the block on a Wednesday night.
Smash and Grab - Queens Of Noize night (with exclusive live

Morris's genre defining club night featuring huge DJs such as Herve and
the Prodigy as well as the most hotly tipped NME and XFM Indy bands
which received regular features and reviews in the music press as a
seminal night.
The Playground - Huge monthly club night doing capacity numbers (on a
Wednesday night!) featuring the hottest new live acts. The Playground
hosts some of the biggest events at venues such as KOKO, XOYO, 93
Feet East and many more with french super-label Kitsune.

promoters behind some of the biggest illegal raves...gone legit. I brought
them in and they now do capacity numbers on Monday and Tuesday
nights!
Criminal Records presents Harajuku - another event doing huge numbers
(500+) on Tuesday nights with a kitsch japanese theme hosted by uber-
cool indie label Criminal records.
Banjam - renowned super-cool club night from top industry A+R featuring

13. and John Woolfe brought their Dance night with high profile celeb DJs
such as DJ Yoda, Shy FX, Jaguar Skillz, Hot Chip, Caspa, Skream and
Benga and many more to Proud from its prior home, Bungalow 8.
Dead Or Alive - Flagship night from Long Running live music brand
featuring 4 band bills of the best of the best acts road tested at Dead or
Alive's other nights. These events always did the numbers as every act had
already packed one of their other nights so the line-ups were guaranteed,
which is why I gave them a regular slot in the roster.
I also booked all the high profile in-house events, including the BIG Bank
Holiday shows.... including acts such as Ed Harcourt, AutoKratz, The

Events Manager for the Monarch (300cap), The Abbey (150cap) and
The Enterprise (100cap)
MAJOR PROJECTS - Bringing in residencies and club nights such as:-
Amy Winehouse presents “Snakehips” - I worked with Amy throughout
her career and we launched this night together receiving international press

14. exposure with film crews and press from around the worldcovering the
event. It was in all the papers and there was a queue round the block every
time we did the event. Snakehips turned over record bar-takes and turned
around the fortunes of the newly refurbished venue with footfall increasing
tenfold even on nights with no events after its launch.
Pete Doherty - exclusive solo gig - one of the most successful intimate
shows Pete had done in years..... Having worked with Pete many times
before, I was able to ensure that this potentially extremely troublesome
event was orchestrated with precisionand professionalism. The show was
carefully marketed and sold-out on pre-sales alone, leading to a highly
successful and criticallyacclaimed show, executed to perfection from a
notoriously problematic artist to promote.
Secret Live performance from The Kooks.
Dirty Pretty Things official end of tour after show party.
Rockfeedback (Transgressive Records) - Monthly sellout club night from
the team behind Transgressive records (Graham Coxon, Klaxons). Each

the two networks and led to HUGE exposure for the venue.
Lost vagueness: Lost In Camden - The First public events from one of the
biggest promoters in the industry. Lost Vagueness are internationally
renowned as THE key annual promotion and biggest resident attractions at
Glastonbury. L.V. grew to such proportions in it's 20 year history at

enough to take unto 40,000 people! I approached them to do the first major
collaborative event between the 3 venues under my jurisdiction as events
manager for Bruce Bars LTD - The Monarch, The Abbey and The
Enterprise. Lost in Camden was a huge success pulling in 1000s across the
3 venues. Lost In Camden even included both stages at Proud Camden and
filled the venue to capacity by 11pm. A typically spectacular event and
treatment from the Cabaret and Burlesque pro's, we co-ordinated dozens of
performances across many stages with entertainment ranging from
burlesque, cabaret, bands, djs, a fully functioning casino, circus, fire and
aerial performances with full venue dressing across the 4 venues including
countless props, visuals. This was a string example of my work and

15. collaborations.

PRESS REVIEW - THE MONARCH (About 8months after i took over):-
Below is a review / interview for London Tour Dates magazine which took
place about 6 months after i took over as Events Manager:
Venue Review - The Monarch, Camden Town
Your guide to essential bricks and mortar - the venues that are home to the
capital’s greatest live music events
by Tourdates Staff Writer, first published in London Tourdates #031 ,19th
September 2008
“What other venue in Camden has red velvet curtains and chandeliers but
still maintains that scuzzy Camden vibe?” espouses Events Manager at
The Monarch Tom Wright.
That The Monarch has been able to achieve this identity so quickly is a
tribute to Wright and the other major players in the venue’s story so far.
After all, this time last year The Monarch was a decidedly different
proposition, catering to a decidedly different sort of crowd. Needless to
say, Wright has altered things for the better.
“Approximately six months ago or so,” explains Wright, “the venue was

25. refurbished. It used to be a Wetherspoon’s and we’ve made a rather
dramatic transformation. We’ve invested in an outstanding P.A, really
state-of-the-art stuff.”
Few will lament the passing of the venue from that particular chain into
independent hands. Well, we say independent, The Monarch is in fact run
by the same team as behind Barfly, The Enterprise, The Abbey and others.
But The Monarch is the ‘jewel in the crown’, to indulge in a bad pun.
It used to be called The Misty Moon, and was a fairly straightforward
drinking hole, an image Wright and his team were determined to lose upon
securing the venue.
“The idea really was to make what was already an amazing space into a
venue that caters to rock n’ roll youth. I feel that Camden is lacking a
space like this.
“When I started one of my first goals was to transform the appearance of
the venue, to try and immediately drag ourselves away from the
Wetherspoon’s image, because that was the image we had, with all the
preconceptions that came with it.”
It cannot be denied that they have achieved their goal. Anyone poring over
the celebrity pages in July would have seen pictures of Amy Winehouse
jumping on the decks at The Monarch for an impromptu DJ set (apparently
this is her new ‘low-key’ boozer of choice after The Hawley went up in
flames), while with collaborations with James Lavelle from UNKLE,
resident DJs in the shape of Marky J-Killer and MizBehave and recent
shows from some of the city’s most trend-setting talents, such as ddd, The
Monarch is unique in its programming. There’s even a metal night every
Monday.
All the more impressive when you consider the speed of the turnaround
from faceless pub to charismatic live venue. And there’s more to it than
just music.
“We see ourselves as one of the only real boutique venues in Camden,”
says Wright. “We don’t do ‘gigs’, we do ‘events’. Everything we’ve built
is aimed at being a spectacle.”

26. Therefore, one can walkinto The Monarch of an evening and potentially
find burlesque, cabaret, a circus, a casino, theatre and even a church.
There’s also podcasts from the guys at Rock Feedback. Of course, The
Monarch was a key venue in this year’s Camden Crawl, yet they are not,
Wright says, a ‘sceney’ venue.
“We’re not out to dictate what people listen to. I think that’s something the
East End does a lot, you know, people with asymmetrical haircuts and one
jean leg rolledup for no apparent reason. We just listen to what people
want and give it to them.”
And, given these shaky economic times we are apparently in the midst of,
is starting a new venue from scratch a scary proposition?
“I think that in a time of recession,” says Wright, “the one people that
people read is to have somebody put a smile on their face, and we have the
clout to pull in some reallycool people and acts just through making
friends.”
