A podcast about what happens
before the music starts.

Picture

Composer Emma Clarke interviews a bunch of people who make, use and love music.

Composers, performers, buskers, choreographers, sopranos, dancers, teachers, promoters, IP lawyers, jingle writers, music curators, venue bosses, backing vocalists, music therapists...

The question is simple: what happens before the music starts?

BEFORE THE BAR OPENS explores the relationship we have with music and its transformative power to make us feel, think and do stuff.
