Creation Records Founder To Be Guest At Exclusive Evening




















The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance has announced that they will host an exclusive event with Creation Records founder, Alan McGee.

One of the music industry’s most influential men, McGee is most notable for founding the music label, Creation Records under which, he signed and managed such huge acts as The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream and The Libertines. His best-known success story however, is Oasis, who he signed to Creation in the 1990’s.

After the closure of Creation Records, Alan immediately founded a new label called Poptones, which has had success with the Hives, the Charlatans and Dirty Pretty Things, each of which is managed by Alan McGee Management. He also runs an international club night called Death Disco, which has residencies in New York, Budapest and Los Angeles, and travels Europe with his close friend and musical client, Tim Burgess of The Charlatans on DJ tours every year.

Established almost a quarter of a century ago, the institute has been developing and delivering cutting-edge courses to students of contemporary music for longer than any other UK-based school. Originally known as the Guitar Institute, it now offers a range of professional courses including a three-year degree, a fully funded one-year diploma, a specialist one year higher diploma, plus a wide portfolio of part-time courses designed to meet a variety of training needs. Past and present institute students can be found everywhere, touring with the likes of Katie Melua and Moby, playing with bands like Radiohead and Babyshambles and artists like K. T. Tunstall and Beverley Knight, and also working as teachers all over the world.

The event will take place on Tuesday the 19th of February, from 7.00pm to 9.00pm. For information on how to reserve a place, contact the Institute directly, on 020 7328 0222 or enquiries@icmp.uk.com.
