you can run but you cannot hide

About Me

I help bands by raising their profiles and fanbase - point them in the right direction and win them record deals, Agents and tour supports/festivals and radio play throughout the world.I give bands HOPE and the confidence to succeed.I try to apply the basics in life - To be HELPFUL to people as much as i can. It costs NOTHING to be nice - and if i can help someone i WILL.

Heres a brief run down of whats been happened so far in a roller coaster of a jouney and i am sure theres loads more to come!Supports - OCEAN COLOR SCENE, Paul Weller, Kasabian, Brendan Benson, Joseph Arthur, Kasabian, The Buzzcocks, Tom Vek, The storys, Oppenheinheimer, the Long Cut, Athlete, Franz Ferdinand, Cinematics,Amoudou & Mariam, The Towers of LONDON, EUROPEAN TOUR WITH +44 (MARK HOPPUS),Mclusky,BIG COUNTRY,jon Power, Tom Hingley (INSPIRAL CARPETS),Phil Campbell,TSOOL,Terra Diablo, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND,THE SUBWAYS, The View, The EDITORS,and many many more....FESTIVALS....TITP,Big in Falkirk, Merchant City, Isle of Skye, Go North,Rockness, Belladrum, LONDON CALLING,WICKERMAN FESTIVAL, WIZARD FESTIVALIve now built up a fantastic relationship with Venues, Agents, Promoters , film makers, Actors,Media- Newspapers TV and Radio Stations and Labels -indie and Majors-
( SHRINKING VIOLET) made No18 in the UK Indie charts and No22 in the official Scottish! with the help of Billy Smith of Ascain Bay Records.This was quite astonishing as we achieved this without vast amounts of funding for marketing, plugging etc. They were what you would class a s pop/punk and were incredible onstage. i managed to secure a gig with OCEAN COLOUR SCENE at a SELLOUT BARROWLANDS in Glasgow as well as touring with them later that year - Chris Cradock (Manager OCS)said later that they were one of the BEST support bands OCS have ever had... The boys also played BIG IN FALKIRK, T on the Fringe and played a quite mesmerising set whilst supporting THE SUBWAYS at GIGEDINBURGH to over 1400 screaming fans - infact that gig is still talked about today.They played TWO BliStering nights @ BARLINNIE PRISON in Glasgow and made NEW....friends!(lol)I then set upon working with OLA who i took from an unknown band who were on the verge of breaking up to playing and touring with +44, the tommys, towers of London, the Buzzcocks and playing many festivals in the UK and Europe. Unfortunately when bands/acts start to get exposure they then start to think that they are bigger and better than what they actually are - This leads to a parting of the ways and scheming behind the scenes which aint niceSome people say that my methods are not "the way" in the industry but NO ONE CAN ARGUE with the SUCCESS that i have brought to the bands/acts i have worked for.2008 SEES ME WORKING WITH SOME REALLY TOP BANDS/ACTS - MICK DRAIN who IMHO has one of the finest voices in the industry as well as CHARISMA!PAGE 6 from Dundee have a great reputation for fantastic tunes and this could be THEIR YEAR.MINDSET are a young band from Lesmahagow who have put together a nice melodic rock feel....
