Rich has been an invaluable aid to my career with all the time-consuming admin around being an independent artist, the crap that pulls you away from actually being a musician. There are a lot of cash grabbing chancers in this industry, but Rich is not one of them. I trust him completely, let him help build your infrastructure so you can get back to creating.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with Rich and Indie Music Matters on the first Un-Convention event in Stoke and were truly inspired by their commitment to supporting and enhancing the local music scene. Organisations such as this are crucial to the cultural and economic prosperity of a region and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
