A 40-year veteran of concert production, having worked with the likes of Echo & The Bunnymen, The Waterboys, UB40, Slayer, Anthrax, Ministry, Jane’s Addiction, Richard Ashcroft, Regina Spektor, Queens of the Stone Age, Wet Wet Wet, Amy Winehouse, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, and many others, there’s not much that Michael ‘Curly’ Jobson hasn’t come across in his time in the industry. In his current role as Executive Director of Events at MDLBEAST, Curly now finds himself at the sharp end of the creation of a brand-new industry in Saudi Arabia.
With a high-powered position at one of the industry’s most exciting and rapidly developing companies, it would be easy to assume that life has always been a walk in the park for Curly. However, in this exclusive and intimate interview conducted the day after the TPMEA Awards 2023 – where the MDLBEAST team bagged an impressive seven awards – he shares the story behind his personal journey, charting the ups and downs that have shaped his outlook on life and helped him become the person he is today.
