andykeenan Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Week 8 It’s Week Nine, and Lord Sugar asks the candidates to meet him at the world-famous BBC Maida Vale studios in London. These studios have played host to some of the biggest music artists in history, from The Beatles to Beyoncé. This week the candidates will need a good eye for business and an even better ear as they are challenged to become music managers. Each team must audition unsigned artists, choose which one to represent and then head to a studio to create a new remix of one of their tracks. The end goal is to secure sales of the record at their own showcase events. They’ll need to produce a good track and make strong sales if they are going to end up top of the charts in the boardroom. For one team there are creative differences in the studio as they fall out more than the Gallagher brothers. On the other team there is a compilation of calamities as they fail to harmonise. Back in the boardroom it’s time to face the music as Lord Sugar separates the chart toppers from the one-hit wonders. For one candidate there will be no encore, as they are told – 'You’re Fired!'

wilko154 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I could have put a better business plan together than some of those idiots. How can you leave out the figures? Baffling. Carina should win this for being the only one with a remote idea of what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if costed or planned 100% but she seemed to believe it was possible which is nice. This would of course need quite a few bakers, what they need is a Baker Recruitment Agency. The interview is simplicity itself : SCRIPT (c) "Do you like bread ? Can you make nice bread ?, do you happen to live near one of our 10,000 shops, you do ! see you Monday" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Personally think it’s the wrong choice, there’s no business plan. Can’t see how it will grow. She couldn’t even answer that in the arena. The brummie answered very well and came across as knowing her stuff. Think she didn’t win because he has had other recruitment agencies so too much saturation of his own market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
