It’s episode 23 and we are back in South London chatting to the go to guy for soloists, conductors and errant orchestral players who can’t find the toilets in any given venue....it’s senior artist manager at Askonas Holt, Ed Pascall.

This is the second outing Seb and Verity have made to meet Ed after a failed attempt in a Wetherspoons in December 2019. Delighted that he’d humour them again, conversation includes an insight into the kind of super fans classical musicians attract - think handcrafted insects and insanely polite heckling.

There is a long and involved discussion on Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, as well as the potential for Panini sticker albums for orchestras and conductors - niche or what?!

Ed talks about the current outlook for his clients during covid times and what the 2021-22 season could bring....it’s not all doom and gloom.

Find out in what context Ed would take anthrax for the team - that’s true dedication to your work!
