This can be quite embarrassing when trying to give the impression of a large, dynamic entertainment agency. Back in 1999 I spent the weekends playing in my band and the weekdays looking after Rachel. My wife, Lisa, was a senior social worker and she was the one thing all full time musicians need, a bread winner! We set up the business because I was in the fortunate position of having to turn away bookings because my diary was full. Eventually it dawned on me that I was doing the work of an unpaid agent.

I also realised that there was an opportunity staring me in the face. Why not set up an agency, represent some of the good bands I knew and earn some commission at the same time? The good news was that because I was only recommending bands I knew to be good, my customers were happy. This lead to more bookings which meant the bands were happy - perhaps happy is too strong a word, let's say "less reluctant" - to pay commission for finding and managing their bookings.
