BeenandGoneandDoneIt

Loudon Temple had been a journalist all his working life, spending many years as a travel writer who contributed features to the UK’s national newspapers and magazines.

Passionate about music of all kinds, it was while on a travel-writing commission to American Folk hero Doc Watson’s MerleFest in North Carolina, that his career took an unexpected and unplanned turn, leading to him launching the Brookfield-Knights music agency, touring international artists in the UK, and presenting many different musicians and bands at some of the biggest outdoor events and festivals.

Keeping his writing hand employed through PR and marketing campaigns for those he represented, he built the company to become one of the UK’s leading music agencies, operating for fifteen years until things ground to a halt when CV19 restrictions made it impossible for venues to stay open in 2020.

The change in circumstances led him to re-assess plans for the future, revisit and revise travel features he considered gave exposure to some of the most interesting and worth-repeating experiences he had when previously out in the world with pen, notebook and camera.
