On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories.

And it's not just for the health benefits or to incentivise staff - it's because he noticed how much time smokers were spending away from their desks on smoke breaks. Managing director Don Bryden said that he noticed his employees who smoke can spend up to an hour each day taking cigarette breaks. Meanwhile, non-smokers in the office remained busy at their desks continuing with their work. So - Mr Bryden has decided to start the new year with a radical new policy - and give non-smokers 4 days a year extra off! Is is about time employers made a move like this? Or is it a step too far?…
