The book 'Touring and Mental Health: The Music Industry Manual' is published by Omnibus Press and is the brainchild of music industry psychotherapist and Music Industry Therapist Collective (MITC) founder Tamsin Embleton. It's is a collection of well-researched and rigorous essays authored by experts and academics in the field offering insight, signposting and mental health support for musicians and music industry professionals on the road. Considered the 'go-to' manual for any touring music professional, it has gained (and keeps gaining) massive praise in the national and international press since its launch in March. It's also been wildly praised online by prominent musicians worldwide. An audiobook is now in the works and you can find extra material from the book, further resources and details of workshops online at https://www.touringmanual.com/ Sound Affects Podcast featured Tamsin's Music Industry Therapist Collective back in 2018 (episode 4) when the book was in early stages of development. It's been really lovely following the journey of MITC and the book since then, and I attended the book launch back in March. Interview recorded April 2023.

Hi everyone, some time ago I collaborated with Oasis pod with 2 episodes on Oasis and mental health and in those episodes I had said I would at some point take a further deep dive on this topic, especially this ethereal 'feeling' evoked by Noel's songwriting, for those who are interested in the emotional impact of Oasis' music, ethos and influence. This project is still in the works but in the meantime, in the week of world mental health day, I have put together a montage of clips taken from my podcast that pertain to Oasis and the feeling they give. All the clips you hear are from guests I interviewed for Sound Affects (fans, musicians, a music therapist and a neuroscientist), except for the final clip of me speaking which comes from ep 77 of Oasis podcast where James the host had added a backdrop of music to my words.

Yvette Caster is an award-winning freelance journalist, podcaster and speaker. At the time of interview, she was the long-standing co-host of Metro UK official mental health and wellbeing podcast 'Mentally Yours' along with Ellen Scott.* I interviewed Yvette about how hip hop music has supported her over the years in her experiences with bipolar disorder. We talk through her attendance as an out-patient in a mental health unit during the late 90s after her first manic episode and how she's managed things since, exploring the impact of bipolar disorder on her dating and relationships. We also look at how the news of the death of Tupac Shakur affected her as a teen. You can still listen to the episode I did with the Mentally Yours podcast during the pandemic on music and mental health here: https://audioboom.com/posts/7975995-music-and-mental-health *I recorded this episode in January 2023. Since then, Yvette has left Mentally Yours, but the podcast is still going strong, now run by Rachel Moss.

Writer, podcaster and musician Nico Tatarowitcz explores the romance of music and the inspiration behind his Stupid Hearts Club podcast.   Follow Nico/Stupid Hearts Club podcast: Patreon link: https://www.patreon.com/stupidheartsclub/posts Non-patreon link: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/stupid-hearts-club/id1652327681 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stupidheartsclub/?hl=en Songs by Nico included in this podcast: Love isn't Everything – opening song Hello and Goodbye – ending song At the end of this podcast, Nico asks me to choose a song with a reason for why I chose it. I was in Spain when I sat down to listen to the file of songs he sent me. I had made a shortlist of the songs I liked the most, then re-listened to them on the balcony later that evening. A slither of the moon was out, and a bright star near it (I'm going to guess it was Venus – how apt). I stayed staring at the star while the music played. In the time it took me to finish hearing Hello and Goodbye, the moon and the star gradually slipped out of my view behind a wall. It was a gentle reminder that the world we're on is indeed spinning, and depending on where you are, your view can change.

Trigger warning: This episode contains references to childhood sexual abuse, racism, self-harm, suicidal ideation, drug use and also contains some details of a traumatic incident involving fire. (See support links below.) In Part 2 of the Oasis and Mental Health mini series, I interview previous @OasisPodcast guest @Cynthializa, who is a stylist at Selfridges. In her previous interview with James from Oasis Pod (see Oasis Podcast, episode 47), Cynthia credits Oasis for her decision to quit her job as a teacher in Canada to study at the London College of Fashion and pursue her dream of being a stylist.  However, there's another part to that story which she didn't reveal at the time: a harrowing incident which had left her suicidal and dependent on drugs, until a chance conversation with Liam Gallagher backstage at a festival helped set her psychologically free and on a path to recovery. Frustratingly (for me at least), discussions on Oasis are typically framed around a white, British male focus, and this episode moves away from that entirely. We explore Cynthia's experiences of childhood sexual abuse and racism growing up in a mixed race family, and she explains how Oasis songs helped to soothe her from this in her teenage years. We then look at a traumatic incident that occurred in her early adult life which initially set her off on a destructive path of self-harm, low self-worth, drug abuse and suicidal feelings. Again, she describes how it was the music of Oasis, and in particular Noel Gallagher's resolve, that helped to soothe her in post traumatic stress and eventually overcome her drug dependency. Finally, she describes a chance conversation she had backstage at Roskilde festival with Liam Gallagher, whose words of wisdom in response to her pain helped shift her mindset about her self worth and cemented her decision to move to the UK and turn her life around completely.   To get in touch: Twitter @SoundAffectsPod Email soundaffectspodcast@gmail.com   Support Sound Affects Podcast: https://ko-fi.com/soundaffectspod   Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.   Follow Cynthia: @LizaStyle  Follow Oasis Podcast: @OasisPodcast   For help and support with any of the issues raised: The Women and Girls Network (for all women and girls affected by all forms of violence and abuse): https://www.wgn.org.uk/ Survivors UK, for survivors of male sexual abuse https://www.survivorsuk.org/ Support links for burns and scars: https://katiepiperfoundation.org.uk/support-links-burns/   For help with addiction and dependency: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/guides-to-support-and-services/addiction-and-dependency/addiction-and-dependency-resources/   Samaritans: 116 123 or www.samaritans.org

I've collaborated with James from Oasis Podcast for a mini series over the next few weeks and months exploring the theme of Oasis and mental health. Why Oasis, why mental health? I have openly expressed my love for Oasis since starting this podcast, and it remains a running theme throughout as I get to grips with exactly what it is about the band that has such an effect on me and millions of others. Meanwhile, I'm a professional psychotherapist and interested in a clearer emotional understanding of we're impacted. Rather than exploring it alone, I collaborated with Oasis Podcast, the official audio guide to Oasis so we can document this properly.  This first episode of the mini series is our interview with Manchester comedian Rachel Fairburn, who explains why Oasis are the reason she's able to do what she does now.  Follow Rachel Fairburn on Twitter @RachelFairburn and her podcast All Killa No Filla @KillNoFillPod Follow James @OasisPodcast Follow Sound Affects Podcast @SoundAffectsPod Please subscribe, like, tweet us, leave us messages, or contact me at soundaffectspodcast@gmail.com We'll be back with much more
