Rock ‘n’ Roll Business sees Kate delve into her past career as a singer and music manager, when she toured the world and sang with stars like Martha Reeves and Candi Staton. She’s hit the road again (Covid-19-safely), to go behind the scenes at iconic musical landmarks like Abbey Road Studios, Wembley and over to Nashville, LA, New York, and UAE where she’s spent time with some of the industry’s most influential movers and shakers.
Learning the secrets of success from those both on and off stage, Kate hosts a series of fascinating interviews with insiders including Shep Gordon, on whom the Mike Myers movie Supermensch is based, to hear how he helped Alice Cooper break the UK by making ‘parents hate him’.
Dolly Parton’s team shared with her the genius story behind her infamous 00’s career turnaround and she meets Nic Collins (son of singer Phil Collins) and his band Better Strangers to see how you go about launching a band when your father is already huge in the industry.
Kate says, “Not many people know about my first career as a singer and band manager and I’ve had some proper ‘pinch yourself’ moments with huge stars, playing in front of audiences of thousands. For many years, I never truly realised just how much this shaped me as an entrepreneur and helped me achieve success in business.
