I’ve had a long a varied career in the music industry. In 1985 I joined cult indie band Felt, with whom I recorded five albums on the Creation Label (Oasis, Primal Scream etc). We had minor success, and worked with such luminaries as The Cocteau Twins and John Leckie (Radiohead, Stone Roses). In 1988 I set up a small Vinyl and CD distribution company, which I ran with some success for the next 20 years. In 1990, I formed an instrumental band called Fly alongside fellow ex-Felt members Gary Ainge and Martin Duffy (Primal Scream). We released one album of instrumental music called ‘Put The Needle Down And Fly’. In 2005 I set up the San Remo Record label after stumbling on a demo tape by a Wolverhampton singer/songwriter called Scott Matthews. We enjoyed considerable success, releasing five albums, the first two of which were licensed by Island Records. We worked with an array of artists including Robert Plant (who sang on Scott’s second album), The Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol, Amy Winehouse and many others. In recent years I have turned my attentions to my first love, composing, and am actively seeking opportunities to license my compositions.
