Why Me?
Lucy Dixon
I have worked in the live music and events industry for the past fifteen years and knowing what sells and selling performers into events is my expertise. From initial conception of the product or act to executing a perfectly timed performance I have worked tireless hours and years to perfect my skills. Now, I want to teach you how in just six weeks.
My agency, House of Lemon, books musicians and performers for high calibre clients at venues worldwide as well as for festivals and private events. My career started at the legendary Bedford in Balham where I booked five nights a week of live music and helped to launch the live careers of well known artists such as Ed Sheeran, Michael Kiwanuka, James Bay, and Paolo Nutini. I have booked over a thousand performers for stages worldwide, planned and executed hundreds of events from luxury weddings to corporate events and have helped fill the diaries of many performers during my time directing the agency.
"Lucy is quite simply a joy to work with. Friendly, focussed and detail driven, I have relied on her services on countless occasions. Her background and expertise in the field of events and entertainment - specifically the music industry - is vast. I honestly can't recommend her enough."

Guests Speakers:
Ben Cartwright
Ben is a sound engineer who has worked in the events industry for 8 years, as well as being a performer and studio producer. He has worked on events at the Royal Albert Hall and Hyde Park, and as far afield as Russia, India, and Dubai, with bands as diverse as Ember (pop string trio), Jack Pack (swing singers and Britain’s Got Talent finalists) and Emma Shapplin (opera singer). From planning technical requirements on a festival stage, to mixing bands live on ITV’s This Morning, there’s very little that fazes him.

Knowledge / Experience
I have worked in the live events industry for over 15 years and have learnt the hard way what it takes to succeed by trial & error and through ups & downs. I understand exactly what you need to take you to where you want to be. I have worked with performers who earn six figures a year from performing at events and I will share with you my learnings and insider tips and tricks.

“What I love about Lucy is that you can throw anything at her and she remains unfazed. “Can you help us with a two day festival with five bands and a silent disco?” No problem at all! It ran like a dream and the team, including the bands, could not have been nicer or more accommodating to work with. Thanks Lucy for making our festival the best festival EVER and allowing me to sit back and enjoy it!” Liz Hughes - Client

"Lucy is an absolute inspiration to work with. I worked with Lucy back at the start of my career (10 years ago now!) and she taught me the fundamentals of organisation, logistical management and work ethic that have carried me through to a massively fulfilling career in the music industry. Lucy is an extremely special individual with an acute, all encompassing understanding of what it takes to make it work in this business and an ability to communicate and implement that clearly and methodically. Plus she's awesome."
