James Gamble appointed as CEO

Posted on January 30th, 2025 by Madara Tumovica

We are delighted to announce that James Gamble has been appointed as CEO to TALENTBANQ.

James joined the business as an intern pre-Covid while completing his Masters at Tileyard Education.

As the live music world reawakened, he accepted the role of Events Manager in November 2020 – being promoted to Managing Director in July of 2023.

In the course of his duties James became key account manager, primary booker and artist liaison for two Black Deer Festivals, and successfully managed TALENTBANQ’s intimate grassroots music venue, The Camden Chapel. 

Co-Founder Ray Jones remains with the business as a Board Member and advisor to the executive team.

He commented:

“Congratulations James. Intern to CEO despite the incredible commercial headwinds we have faced is quite an achievement. Pablo, Mervyn and I sought to build a sustainable music business run by young talented people. Look after the firm young man – I know you have a great team around you that will support you all the way”

New Grassroots Acoustic Music Venue: Live at The Libra – Camden

Posted on January 9th, 2025 by Madara Tumovica

After six incredible years at The Camden Chapel we are pleased to introduce our new Grassroots Acoustic Music Venue.

Live at The Libra – Camden

A fabulous space right in the heart of Camden where musicians and audiences will enjoy intimate nights.  

Here it will be all about who’s on stage.

A 40 cap venue designed to be perfect for rising independent artists to present their first London headline show.

We are so excited to welcome you to Live at The Libra.

It took us a while to find somewhere as charming and intimate as the Camden Chapel.

But at The Libra we have an ace location, a wonderful cafe / bar and a private performance space with great tech.

The venue will be programmed and run by TALENTBANQ – opening with a stellar line up on February 20th!
