Having been a professional musician for twenty years I’ve now retired from the road and taken up position as a desk-jockey - sending out other individuals, duos and bands to do my dirty work, i.e. play at festivals, events and venues all over the UK.
As an agent I’m not interested in a gig at any price. I consider that it’s my job to bring together the right artist and the right venue at the right price. It’s a win-win situation... er actually it’s a win-win-win situation. :-)
I specialise in bringing Australian, American and Canadian performers into the UK - great names like Tanglefoot, James Keelaghan, Cloudstreet, Mad Agnes, Finest Kind and fantastic shows like ’Appalachian Roots’ with Ira Bernstein and Riley Baugus. I also have a few fantastic UK performers on my list including the wonderful Peggy and PJ - that’s Dave Pegg from Fairport and PJ Wright from Little Johnny England.
Here’s my full list of agency artists: CANADA: Tanglefoot; Rosheen; Dan McKinnon; Eileen McGann; James Keelaghan Trio; Cara Luft with Hugh McMillan; Jaime RT & Andy Hillhouse; Finest Kind * USA: Mad Agnes; Appalachian Roots/Ira Bernstein & Riley Baugus; Pint & Dale; Tania Opland & Mike Freeman * AUSTRALIA: Cloudstreet; Bernard Carney; Ruth Hazleton and Kate Burke; Trouble in the Kitchen * UK: Peggy & PJ; Shep Woolley; Belshazzar’s Feast * MULTI-NATIONAL: The Outside Track
By the way, if you’re an artist looking for an agent please don’t send me a promo package - go to my website and read the article on ’Why You Don’t Need an Agent’. Once you’ve read it, if you think I’m talking rot e-mail me first before sending anything.
