Paul Crockford - MMF UK 30th Anniversary Edition
For today’s episode, I had the pleasure of collaborating with the
Music Managers Forum - UK, in celebration of their 30th anniversary as an organization, creating community and acting as advocates for managers on a large number of important policies. One of their early champions was
Paul Crockford, who we speak with today.Paul has had a rather illustrious career, first as a promoter, then begrudgingly, at first, as a manager. One of his first clients was
Tears For Fears. He now looks after
Mark Knopfler, of
Dire Straits fame. He was also a key player in organizing the series of benefit concerts for
The Prince’s Trust, including many of Britain's legendary artists, such as Paul McCartney, Phi Collins, David Bowie, and countless others.
