This week Seb and Verity get some much needed advice and inspiration from arts entrepreneur and marketing consultant, David Taylor. David’s work has seen him consulting many of the UK’s top orchestras and performers but never has he had such a difficult task as trying to sort out this pair.....

David chats about setting up Yorkshire Young Sinfonia and leading it to huge success, reaching an audience of 7.5 million in just 4 years and featuring in the BBC documentary ‘Birth Of An Orchestra’. They discuss how orchestras have embraced the digital age and how they are finding ways to survive Covid.

Seb and Verity try to get their heads around branding and optimal use of social media - mediums such as Clubhouse are thrown around...you know Clubhouse? Them neither.

David talks about his early days as a cocktail waiter/bingo caller/cello teacher, working in Jerusalem, Philharmonia Gin (it’s a thing!) and being on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. There’s a first mention on the podcast for Paul Pogba and a delightful rendition of ‘Oh Little Town of Bethlehem’. Just another standard Three In A Bar outing!
