Reel Big Fish was one of the legions of SoCal ska-punk bands to edge into the mainstream following the mid-’90s success of No Doubt and Sublime. Distinguished by their hyperkinetic stage shows, juvenile humour, ironic covers of new wave pop songs, and metallic shards of ska, the group cultivated an underground following that broke into the mainstream when their single “Sell Out” became a modern rock radio and MTV favourite. Reel Big Fish are supported by Lightyear and {Spunge}

This session will be covering the topic of Mental Health in the Workplace. Mental health is still one of the most misunderstood health issues by employers in the modern workplace. It often leads to hesitancy and uncertainty about how to help, and concern about managing employees suffering from such conditions. Oliver Brabbins and Robert Hickford will guide you through the considerations you must make, and the steps you can take, to best protect your business and manage the health of your employees.
Your guest speakers are:
Oliver Brabbins Following a successful career as an HR manager in both the public and private sector, Oliver trained as a barrister before converting to a solicitor, specialising in employment law. He is the head of the employment team at Steeles Law. Oliver excels in providing pragmatic, solution-based advice in an industrial relations context. His background provides him with a rare understanding of the role of the HR manager and his advice is designed to assist clients to achieve their objectives, rather than frustrate them in their efforts to run a business. Particularly highly regarded for his advocacy skills, Oliver represents clients at employment tribunals across the UK and the Employment Appeal Tribunal. As well as advocacy, Oliver has a special interest and expertise in advising on large scale reorganisations and redundancies, industrial relations and the TUPE Regulations.
Rob Hickford Referred to in the 2017 Legal 500 as a ‘Rising Star’, Robert advises businesses ranging from multi-national corporations to local SME’s on all aspects of employment law, including advising on corporate restructures, TUPE consultations, and defending employment tribunal claims. He also assists employers with immigration matters, including the process for sponsoring migrants to work in the UK. Recent work highlights include:
Advising a major food industry client on the restructure and transfer of employees across a multi-site operation with added TUPE complications.
Defence of a multi-respondent multi-claimant TUPE claim arising out of liquidation and insolvency.
Advising on obtaining and maintaining Tier 2 Visa Sponsorship status for numerous national and international organisations.

I think you might have just killed the pretty cowgirl’ – Rudie Hayes (Creative Director at Jorvic Radio, Presenter at Horseshoe Lounge Radio Show, Staff Writer for FATEA, Former Interviews Editor for Americana UK) — Redefining British Country Music, Sam Coe sheds a new light on the musty, tinged world of traditional country. Raw, gritty and honest. No pretence, just her gutsy truth colliding with the music. Following previous critical acclamation and success as both a solo artist and with her band, The Long Shadows, 2019 sees Sam Coe heading in a fresh musical direction. Ready to start a new UK Country scene that draws upon, rather than tries to replicate, the American scene we know and love, Sam wanted to embrace being an unashamed British artist, and bring some sincerity and soul to the UK industry. Heading back into the studio, she began recording her debut solo album under label GingerDog Records. Influenced by the sound of throwback instrumentation like the Fender Rhodes, the new record is heavily piano driven, while combining tremolo guitars, hammond organ and her beloved Gibson with an emotional and raw vocal. Influenced by artists such as Brandi Carlile, Margo Price, Larkin Poe, First Aid Kit, Bonnie Raitt, Patty Griffin and Emmylou Harris, Sam’s songwriting reflects 33 years of her self-confessed ‘shit storm’ of a life. Struggling to achieve the next step both personally and musically and striving to leave her mark on the world. ‘If you get to the end of the line and look back, I would hate to feel like I had any regrets – have fun, chase every adventure, leave your legacy.’
