Alan Mcgee is best known for co founding and running in the independent Creation Records label and is the man who discovered & signed Oasis.

Join Alan tour as he discusses his career, the music industry and his relationship with bands such as Oasis and Primal Scream.

In 1997, the revitalised Labour Party took note of McGee’s accomplishments with Creation Records and they got him to spearhead a media campaign prior to the General Election in order to appeal to Britains youth culture. He was largely responsible for changing government legislation in relation to musicians being able to go on the new deal which gave musicians three years to develop and be funded by the government instead of having to take other jobs to survive.

Other significant bands that were signed by Creation Records include 3 Colours Red, The Boo Radleys, Bernard Butler, Heavy Stereo, Bob Mould, My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub, Saint Etienne, Kevin Rowland, Super Furry Animals, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The House of Love, Ride, and Slowdive. He is currently the manager for the Happy Mondays, Black Grape, Shaun Ryder, Cast, Glasvegas, and The Bluetones.

Join Alan as he discusses his career, the music industry and his relationship plus inside track with bands such as Primal Scream. You will also have the opportunity to ask Alan a question.

The night itself will be hosted by author & broadcaster, Rob Fiddaman. Alan will head to the Square Chapel in Halifax on May 25th
