Legacy of a Music Mogul: Fireside Chat with George Ergatoudis

​Legacy of a Music Mogul: A Fireside Chat with George Ergatoudis
Wednesday 21 October, Qube Shoreditch

​For more than three decades, George Ergatoudis has been one of the people deciding which artists the world hears next, and this is your chance to spend an evening in the room with him.

​As former Head of Music at BBC Radio 1, one of only four people ever to hold the role, George was an early champion of artists including Adele, Dizzee Rascal and Stormzy, and brought Jay-Z, Rihanna and Taylor Swift to Radio 1's Big Weekend. He co-built BBC 1Xtra from the ground up, and went on to lead editorial and playlists for Spotify across every territory outside the Americas before spending seven years at Apple Music. He is now the founder of The Sound Hack, where he advises artists and music businesses on what comes next.

​Few people have seen music discovery from as many sides, and fewer still have been free to talk about it. Join us for an honest, wide-ranging conversation followed by an open Q&A, where you'll have the rare chance to put your own questions to someone who has spent his career on the other side of the decision.

​An intimate evening at our newest clubhouse with one of the quiet architects of modern music.
