‘How Did You Manage That?’ Podcast Episode 4 – Sarah Gallagher

05 June 2019

How Did You Manage That is a series which delves into the world of music management. Every episode Ally McCrae & Sophie Paluch will be sitting down to chat with a music manager about their career. They’ll be talking to managers of global superstars as well as those just starting out on their journey and discussing the highs, the lows and everything in-between.
Sarah Gallagher brings us yet another totally different perspective on managing the careers (and sometimes more) of supremely talented musicians, in this, episode four of our first series. Sarah’s biggest client is a real pop star, coming second on a UK reality TV show but took that and ran all the way with it… Olly Murs, platinum-selling, multi-number one smashing artist and TV star Olly Murs. Sophie and Sarah discuss Olly’s career, her career, including her journey to working for over a decade with Modest Management (also home to One Direction and Little Mix) and all that entails, new motherhood, the day-to-day, and the future of management – a brilliant story of belief in herself and hard work.

How Did You Manage That is brought to you by The Music Managers Forum (MMF) and sponsored by AWAL.
