About Us

Meet the team behind the team!

Spike Beecham - Managing Director

The Music Consortium was devised and created by Spike; a Merseyside born production manager. Spike has an extensive music industry background, having spent 25 years working in the industry. During his career Spike has covered a wide variety of roles including Promoters Rep, Stage Manager, Tour Manager, Production Manager, Promoter, Artist Manager and Theatre Producer to name but a few. When not working Spike is a fully signed up Vinyl Junkie and needs to take several sabbaticals a year to feed his addiction.

Sam Beecham - Finance Director

Sam has over 20 years’ experience in professional project management. Sam is a confident, self-motivated, hardworking individual who got sucked into her role after jumping right into the middle of the festival season in 2014. Accustomed to working in a pressured environment, Sam is committed to providing a quality service and has been a great addition to The Music Consortium family, helping to mould and challenge the team to work harder and strive towards reaching the high standards the Company sets for itself and its crew. Sam is also an equine scientist and therefore loves all things horse related.

Katie Butterfield - Scheduling Coordinator

Katie started life with The Music Consortium as a member of our crew whilst studying to obtain her BA (Hons) in Live Event Production. During this period her youthful enthusiasm made her very popular with the crew, which led to her becoming a Crew Chief. She then spent time with Sam learning about our operating and delivery systems at pace, leading to her full-time role in the office as a Scheduling Coordinator. Katie spends her spare time crocheting, something in which she also excels, to the extent we’ll find various flora & fauna scattered around the office on any given day. I currently have a crocheted pumpkin sitting on my desk. Who said Rock and Roll was dead?

Danni McConville - Crew Coordinator

Danni first joined the team in the summer of 2021 as a Crew Member. Establishing herself as one of our most reliable and hardworking crew, she became a mainstay of the team over the next few years and when the opportunity arose – came onboard with the office team as an Admin Intern! In her usual fashion she hit the ground running, and has now joined us on a full-time basis as a Crew Coordinator!

Laurence Turner - Crew Coordinator

Laurence joined Team TMC in the summer of 2019, starting out as a Crew Member. Over the next few years, he would spend his time honing his crewing skills, all whilst studying for a degree in Film and Media at the University of Leeds. When the opportunity arose for an Admin Intern to join the Office in 2024, Laurence jumped at the chance and hit the ground running. Since then, he has soaked up every opportunity he could to learn (especially when it comes to making fresh pots!) and has now taken on a permanent role as a Crewing Coordinator. In his own time, you will usually find Laurence in the outdoors, whether it is skating, climbing, or taking in the countryside.
