With a foundation built on senior leadership roles at some of the UK’s largest entertainment companies, Ghostwriter brings high-level industry expertise combined with a fiercely independent spirit. With an eco-system comprising of three pillars – Venue Partnerships, Consultancy and Pink Dot, we are firmly embedded in the UK’s live music & event

Leveraging extensive industry knowledge, we provide a “head office function” for our partner venues, implementing robust systems and processes to ensure they are safe, efficient, financially viable, competitively positioned, well marketed, programmed and operationally flexible.
