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.
