WHO IS TIW?

THISISWIRED (TIW) IS A LIVE MUSIC BRAND BASED IN LONDON. BORN OUT OF SHOREDITCH HOUSE, THE RENOWNED PRIVATE MEMBERS’ CLUB, IN 2008, FOUNDERS KATE BOND AND MICHAEL DUKE, HAD SOON CREATED ONE THE MOST POPULAR AND VIBRANT LIVE MUSIC NIGHTS IN THE CAPITAL.

QUOTES FROM OUR WIREY FRIENDS

‘‘WIRED IS MY FAVOURITE LIVE MUSIC EVENT IN LONDON. ONE OF THE FEW PLACES YOU CAN FIND A GENUINE COMMUNITY OF TALENTED, CREATIVE PEOPLE, AND GREAT SHOWCASE OF NEW MUSIC‘DALEY

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

THISISWIRED WAS FOUNDED BY KATE BOND AND MICHAEL DUKE NINE YEARS AGO. WHAT STARTED OUT A SMALL, LOWKEY JAM OF LOCAL MUSICIANS HAS GROWN TO AN ESTABLISHED LIVE MUSIC EVENT ROUTINELY FILLED WITH CREATIVE BUSY BODIES, RECORD INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS, HOUSEHOLD NAMES AND REGULAR MUSIC LOVERS.

KATE IS AN ARTIST MANAGER AT ODD CHILD MUSIC; THE HOME OF LABRINTH, CHRIS LOCO, ETTA BOND AND RAF RILEY AND OTHERS. HER BACKGROUND IN HIGH PROFILE EVENTS, INCLUDING THE OSCARS PARTIES, BAFTAS AND THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL, LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR THE BIRTH OF HER OWN NIGHT. MICHAEL DUKE COFOUNDED THE NIGHT WITH KATE AND IS AN ARTIST IN HIS OWN RIGHT WITH ORIGINAL STUDIO MATERIAL AND A HISTORY OF LEADING ROLES IN WEST END MUSICALS.

TOGETHER THEY’VE CREATED A DEDICATED TEAM WHO OVERSEE THE GENERAL MANAGEMENT, MARKETING, AND LOGISTICS OF THE NIGHT. AND WHILE THE GOAL REMAINS THE SAME, TIW WILL CONTINUE TO GROW, MAKING THE NEXT CHAPTER EVEN MORE EXCITING, MORE REWARDING AND MORE ‘WIREY’
