'It has only taken fifty years however i'd like to dedicate this website to the memory of Ian Dury and of course Matthew Sztumpf, my friend and colleague without whom it would not have been possible...'

Swing Out Sister

My relationship with Corinne and Andy has continued over the years with my management roll falling back into place around 2004. We have toured the world and return to Asia on a regular basis where the band still enjoy great success. Watch this space for news of their new album release in 2012 as well as a live DVD and CD pack. 2012 we celebrate 25 years of Swing Out Sister. Stay tuned.

Sandie Shaw

Sandie came out of semi-retirement last year where recorded the title trackto the movie 'Made In Dagenham' with David Arnold, and performed her first live shows for 25 years at Vintage at Goodwood. Receiving rave reviews for her live appearances Sandie was invited as 'special guest' with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, she has played to 100,000 people this year and will be going out on the road at the end of 2011 with Jools. She has collaborated on something spectacular for the debut solo album from Massive Attack's producer Neil Davidge, due for release in 2012 and recorded 'Just Walk In My Shoes' a Glady's Knight song with B.E.F. Next year will see a new album and full tour from Sandie, so again, watch this space for more details….

Lily Tonico

After not wanting to take any new acts, especially a recommendation that a "Friend's daughter has a great voice, you should take a listen..." I am excited to have Lily join the Liberation Management roster. Her music blends the genres of soul, funk, and blues, add to this a deeply soulful voice and terrific songs and you
have the makings of one talented artist. Lily will be someone to watch out for in the months to come.
New website will be live shortly.

I've been consulting for Ippudo, a superb Ramen Noodle restaurant business from Japan. During my many visits to Japan with Swing Out Sister we have spent many enjoyable lunchtimes and evenings at Ippudo with founder Shigemi Kawahara, Ted Matsumoto and the team who clearly have their noodle cuisine creation down to a fine art. With over 50 restaurants in Japan and locations in Manhattan, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea, European foodies will be thrilled to hear that Ippudo are currently planning to come into Europe with their first destination being London in 2012.
