I'm Pete Maher. I have worked in the music industry since I was 18 years old. First as a guitarist and songwriter (Warner Chappell) and then as a live engineer (Coldplay, Sheryl Crow) and now as a mastering engineer (since 2004). Clients include: U2, Peaky Blinders (full score), Rolling Stones, Katy Perry, Pixies, Killers, Jack White, Lana Del Rey. I'm a HUGE supporter of independent music. If I had my way I would clear out 50% of major label staff and start again! It's time for the industry to dig deep and start investing in new artists !!

Suzie Stapleton is an Australian-born alternative rock artist now based in the UK. She is known for electric live performances and guitar-driven noir soundscapes that cross into gothic-blues and alt-folk. 

Stapleton’s debut album ‘We Are The Plague’ was released in July 2020 on her own label Negative Prophet Records. The album was Voted Top 20 Albums of 2020 by Louder Than War alongside Jehnny Beth, Porridge Radio, Bob Dylan and more. She has received airplay on BBC 6, Absolute Radio, ABC, RTL2, Radio Eins and more. 

Stapleton self-produced the record which was mixed by Dan Cox (Thurston Moore/Laura Marling). Her band includes Gavin Jay (Jim Jones & The Righteous Mind) on bass, and Jim Macaulay (The Stranglers) on drums. 

Stapleton’s other recording projects include The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project (Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, Nick Cave, and others) on which she performed vocals, guest vocals on two records with Lydia Lunch & Cypress Grove “Under The Covers” and “Twin Horses”, and an appearance on Crippled Black Phoenix’s latest release ‘Ellengaest’.

Stapleton has now settled permanently in Brighton, drawn to the sea and the pull of an ancestral tide - Stapleton’s grandmother was born in The Lanes in 1922, and her father grew up in the area.
