I am a marketing and public relations consultant in the UK working with small businesses, mainly in the leisure sector. You read more about me and my work on my blog at http://www.headlinepromotions.blogspot.com but don't knock it, it pays the rent!My passion is live music of all genres. As it happens, I received an award in September 2007 from the legendary George Hamilton IV for my contribution to country music but I love most music styles. My friend, Astrid Haigh-Smith and I established an artist representation and management agency a short while ago - www.headlinemanagement.co.uk - and have some success on behalf of artists that we are working with. This keeps me busy!But not as busy as running The Academy Basingstoke. This is a 24/7 snooker & pool hall, sports bar, Chinese restaurant (must start the diet next week, by the way!) and live music venue. We have attracted some major acts to our stage but we support upcoming artists and local performers as well. The motto is: keep music live! Visit our website at: www.academyclubs.com
