Judith Clumpas- Exclusive Interview

Judith Clumpas has had a long and varied career in the music industry, from early beginnings as a graduate intern with  U2’s promoter MCP in the 1980’s England, to starting music venue King  Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and T in the Park Festival in Scotland in the 90’s, to  venue management of New Zealand’s largest indoor venue, the 12,000 seat Spark Arena over the past decade. She returned to university in 2016 to  pursue a Masters Degree in Customer Experience Design, and has  implemented her findings in innovations at Spark Arena, including the  introduction of a world-leading Zero Waste Strategy that sees all the  venue’s event "waste" going to a local composting facility. So  passionate is she about zero waste events, that in 2018 she set up greenerarena.com with her UK based daughter, Lucy Clumpas, as a global events consultancy with a mission to disrupt assumptions about event waste management.   Lucy was recently employed by Mumford and Sons as their tour greening  rep, and has advised on sustainability to UK music venues. Judith is hoping that the post-COVID changes to our live music industry will see a shift in attitudes towards a positive, sustainable, future.  Join co host Emme Lentino in this very interesting interview with music industry powerhouse, Judith Clumpas, right here on Heart of Indie Radio!
