Senior Booking Agent (NMC Live), Artist Manager / Owner (Take Heed), Live Music Booker / Director (Kirkgate Live)

I've worked in the music industry for around 25 years, starting with DIY shows and onto Booking / Promotions Manager at Sheffield Casbah before moving to Leeds and establishing Brainwash Promotions in 2006, putting on a festival and various shows around the city. In 2010 I joined Northern Music, helping establish NMC Live (a live booking agency) where I became the Senior Booking Agent touring a roster of artists worldwide. I continue this role now, alongside my own company / artist management roster (Take Heed) and handling the live music bookings for Kirkgate Community Centre in Shipley, where I now live with my family.

NMC Live is a live music booking agency touring artists worldwide, based in Saltaire. Take Heed is an artist management company based in Shipley. Kirkgate Live handles live music for Kirkgate Community Centre in Shipley.
