Concert promoter MCD Productions, which runs the Electric Picnic festival, is investigating claims that a person linked to the business “maligned” some music industry figures on social media.
Now correspondence has emerged in which a human resources consultant – Peter Ryan of Dublin firm RA Consulting – told people in the music industry of concerns within the company about some posts on social media. He told recipients that he would welcome an opportunity to discuss the claims by phone, Zoom or in person “and will be pleased to work around your availability”.
