Success is a challenging concept in the music space. Newton Faulkner burst on to the scene with number 1 album Handbuilt By Robots. Younger sister Lottie has managed Newton for the last 18 years. In the time iTunes has launched, streaming has taken over and tiktok has joined the fray! Meanwhile small music venues have closed, touring costs have soared and the nature of fan relationships have transformed from one way comms to community. Lottie and Newton share their experiences of navigating change, coping with success and disasters, and staying friends (just!) through the last 18 years.
