He specialises, however, in the leisure, local radio broadcasting, manufacturing and entertainment sectors. He formerly operated a busy 750 capacity 24/7 snooker and pool hall, Chinese restaurant, sports bars and live music venue in the south of England - in addition to previously being a national promotions manager for a division of Europe's leading late night venue operator and a promotions manager for a global drinks manufacturer. He also writes for several UK and US newspapers and blog sites as well as having contributed to a number of published works. His principal business is Managing Director of Headline Promotions, Press & PR but he is also heavily involved in an internet radio station, performer management agency and leisure property developer. Not much time then for his passion for live music!
