Let the Good Times roll…

 
 

At its core, The Good Times Co fosters a culture of collaboration that not only guides its vision of offering African talent a gateway to Europe, but also informs its passion to provide European events, festivals and venues with the opportunity to work with exciting and globally relevant music from the continent. 

 The Good Times Co founder, Blaise Janichon elaborates “Hosting events, guiding career and generating opportunity for artists to expand their reach into Europe feels like a very natural and exciting progression from my roots in Cape Town”.

Already with a profound reputation as a respected thought-leader in the South African industry, Janichon has produced, curated and delivered more than 1500 unique and memorable Good Times. Backed by a vast list of accolades which include: the management of Cape Town’s premier entertainment venue The Assembly; founding the bespoke music agency Your Friends (Vans Music Night, The Tallest Man On Earth, Knysna Rocks Musical Festival); Operations Director of Seed Experiences; Head of Entertainment for international festival Rocking the Daisies; and consulting as a production lead on numerous international and a local music endeavours. 

We believe that being a small young company in the early stages of our life provides us with a wonderful opportunity to integrate policies and practices that reflect our personal values and we are thankful for the loud global protest by the #blacklivesmatter movement,  #blackouttuesday and #theshowmustbepaused for providing us with a focussed opportunity to consider how we implement these, and broader inclusive ideas that respect our beautiful diversity through action. Read our pledge here.
