A musical heritage
Here at Sage we have a strong heritage of supporting great music. We’re proud to be one of the founding patrons of the Sage Gateshead, one of the UK’s most prestigious venues, which is currently celebrating its fifth birthday.
Ewan, without his headphones in (a rarity)
My friends and colleagues will agree that I’m something of a music obsessive. When I’m not working on our websites I write for a North East music magazine called Narc which showcases some of the most innovative music nationally and internationally. I’ve been lucky enough over the years to interview some of the acts who I love, including Spiritualized, Mercury Rev and Richard Hawley. I’ve also reviewed hundreds of great gigs and CDs, which means that I’ve been exposed to lots and lots of music.
Musically insipired business software
I find music is one of my key inspirations to help me think and focus on my work at Sage. I know that some people find it difficult to focus with music on, but I’m the exact opposite. Mind you, it needs to be the right music, and over the years I’ve learnt to differentiate between the music that inspires me and the music that I find distracting. That’s why online services like Spotify are great. They allow you to build up a collection of songs that are just right to keep you inspired and focussed.

I think it’s fair to say that my taste in music may not be to everyone’s liking, so why don’t you pull together your own playlist and share it with us?
Happy listening!
